Programs & Opportunities to Connect

AAF Tucson offers a variety of notable and engaging events for those just starting their careers and for seasoned professionals to expand their network, grow their business, and make meaningful connections with like-minded professionals. While some events are Members Only, guests (or who we like to call ‘future members’) are invited to attend.

We update this page whenever a new event is added to the roster, so be sure to check back for updates often.

Last year, topics included everything from “How to Make Machine Learning Work for You” by Chris Ashby from Google, to “How To Leverage the Latest Trends in Video Advertising” by Nina Munoz from the Video Center of Excellence, to “The State of Arizona Broadcasting” by Chris Kline from the Arizona Broadcasters Association.
