2025 IHAF Conference & Awards
Join us for our biggest event of the year, where we’ll celebrate two decades of milestones that have shaped the in-house community.
Over the past 20 years, IHAF has built a strong foundation through compelling content and valued relationships. This year’s anniversary conference theme, Reflect & Reimagine, honors our collective achievements by recognizing the contributions of dedicated members and leaders who have helped define the industry.
It’s a time to look back at the advancements that have made a lasting impact, acknowledging the challenges we’ve overcome and the determination that fuels us forward. As we reflect on our past, we also look to the future—reimagining how to meet evolving business needs while fostering cultures of creativity and continuous improvement. We’ll explore ideas, tactics, technologies, and partnerships to propel us into the next decade of success.
Be part of the celebration on November 11–12 at the Omni Boston Seaport Hotel. We’ll rejoice in our rich legacy while baring new ideas. Register today for this special event as we reflect on our respective journeys and reimagine the future together. We look forward to seeing you there!
The IHAF Conference & Awards is open to in-house agency professionals (members and non-members) and value-added suppliers who are members of IHAF. Attendees are encouraged to take advantage of a special room rate at our host hotel, available through October 16, 2025.
