The Ad Rodeo Association is the celebration of creative excellence in Calgary. Each year, Ad Rodeo provides creative professionals the opportunity to meet, talk, learn, mentor and celebrate what they do through several events that culminate in the Anvil Awards. The Anvil Award represents the special talent and effort it takes to be recognized by your peers for creating the very best.

As a not-for-profit society, Ad Rodeo is administered by a volunteer Board of Directors and is devoted entirely to the development and support of industry members and young creatives. Partnerships with local and national sponsors allows us to promote mentorship and education through scholarships and facilitates internships at Calgary agencies.

While providing a benchmark for excellence, it is also the vehicle in Calgary to raise funds for the National Advertising Benevolent Society. With every successful event we are able to contribute funds to this vital organization that assists industry members through a variety of programs.
