The festival will conclude with the announcement of the 2008 Global Effie Award winners in SINGAPORE (February 28 & 29, 2008). It's the first time this has been held outside New York since the Effies began in 1968. There will also be a brand new award program – the Asia Pacific Effies – to recognize the most effective campaigns developed and executed by agencies across the region.

The festival will feature simultaneous programming in a round-table format, giving delegates the widest choice of topics and discussions. Highlights include a series of provocative presentations by “Thought Catalysts” intended to agitate and challenge conventional thinking; Premier Master Classes in which top experts in their fields will share their insights and experience; and the Effie Winners Showcase, in which Gold Effie Award winners from around the world will present case studies on their winning campaigns.
