Additionally, as usual, we highlight some past events and future dates that you cannot miss:
- Fad Juventud Board Meeting: APCP attended the Fad Juventud Board Meeting on February 20th. The Association is a proud patron of this organization. The meeting was chaired by HM Queen Letizia, accompanied by the president of Repsol, Antonio Brufau; the president of Fad Juventud, José Ignacio Goirigolzarri; and the other patrons. During the meeting, three major areas of the foundation’s work were addressed: health and well-being, education, and youth employment. In terms of health and well-being, the data reflect an increase in emotional distress among young people and the prescription of hypnotic sedatives in minors under 18 years of age. The results of the recent study on the perception of youth in Spain regarding Vocational Training were also presented, and initiatives to improve youth employability in strategic sectors such as technology, the green economy, and audiovisual were introduced.
- Presentation of the 28th Malaga Festival: On the evening of 26 February, the Teatro Real in Madrid hosted the cocktail presentation of the 28th Malaga Festival. A private event attended by guests from the industry to celebrate the start of this new edition and share a moment of cinema. The APCP was present, demonstrating the strong ties between the Association and the Festival, which this year will witness the VII Advertising Film Production Activities.
- Gerety Awards: The Gerety Awards launches its ‘Call for Entries’ campaign, created by the Chilean agency Inbrax, as the deadline approaches to take advantage of the Early Bird discount for entries.

All ideas have the possibility to shine at Gerety, like diamonds. All ideas can write history, and the criterion is creativity.
