New club year, new crew — let’s kick it off the right way.
A great club year doesn’t start with a calendar. It starts with the people who show up: members who keep coming back, the folks still deciding whether to join, and the friends of the org who make Houston’s ad scene worth being part of.
Member Mix is where all of that gets going again.
Join us Thursday, July 23 at Kirby Ice House to open the 2026–2027 club year. No panel, no pitch — just good people, cold drinks, and the easiest networking you’ll do all summer. It’s also the best night of the year to make it official.
Membership is discounted all July (AAF drops from $175 to $155, Ad2 from $75 to $65), and we’re giving away free memberships online, plus goodies and free headshots live at the event.
Your membership keeps paying off long after the mixer: a 300+ member Houston community that’s part of a 40,000+ national network, the AAF national/local Career Center job board, eCornell online courses and certificates, and member-only discounts on everyday tools (Lenovo, UPS, Office Depot, and more).
If you’re 32 or under, Ad2 also opens up committee and leadership roles to build real portfolio experience.
Whether you’ve been to every luncheon or you’re walking into your first AAF Houston event, this one’s for you. Come meet the community before the year gets busy.
