The Indie Council of the Advertising Agencies Association of India (AAAI), through its AAAI Academia initiative, is organising a two-day AI Bootcamp for advertising professionals on November 20 and 21, 2026, at the AAAI office in Mumbai. The programme aims to help industry professionals explore and understand the applications of artificial intelligence in advertising.
Designed especially for independent & smaller agencies, the Bootcamp will be a hands-on, practical learning experience. Participants will learn how to use AI tools for strategy, creative ideation, copywriting, media planning, production, client pitches, and agency workflow. This programme will also be useful for clients of agencies.
Key Highlights:
– 2-Day Intensive Program: 20th & 21st November 2026
– Venue: AAAI Office, Mumbai
– Limited Seats: Only 30 participants – on First-Come, First-Served basis
– Dual Faculty Model: Each session will be led by TWO faculty members – one industry practitioner + one AI expert
– Certificate: Certificate from AAAI Academia on completion
On this initiative Dr Sandeep Goyal – President, AAAI, said: “AI is not the future of advertising – it is the present. If independent agencies do not adopt AI today, they will be left behind tomorrow. This Bootcamp under AAAI Academia is our commitment to ensure that indie agencies – the backbone of Indian advertising – get the same AI skills, tools and confidence as the largest networks. We have deliberately kept it small, practical and hands-on, with two faculty members in every session, so that participants go back and can use AI immediately. AAAI Academia will make AI learning a continuous priority for our industry.”
Ms Tanya Goyal – Chairperson, AAAI Indie Council added ” We want indie agencies to see AI not as a threat, but as their biggest leveller. This Bootcamp is built for that.”
Registration: Seats will be allotted strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. For registration contact: aaai@aaai.in
