Sponsor Show Off Events

The signature event series where indie agencies come together to celebrate their work

What is Show Off?

Show Off is Indie Agency News’ signature live event series—think show and tell for grown-ups. Five-minute presentations where agencies share what makes them unique, followed by networking with fellow indies who actually get what you do.

The Format

5-minute agency presentations. No rigid rules—just authentic storytelling and real connections.

The Audience

75-100 attendees from indie agencies. A mix of creatives, strategists, and leaders who shape agency culture.

The Energy

Electric atmosphere where agencies inspire each other. Real stories, genuine excitement.
