The official closing event of Advertising Week is Night of the AdEaters. This all-night screening party which celebrates the world’s best commercials, the creative process and the impact of advertising on global cultures will make its New York City debut on Friday, September, 25th, 2009 at Terminal 5 (610 W 56th St.).

AdEaters was started in 1981 by Jean Marie Boursicot, who maintains the world`s largest and most unique archive of television commercials. It is now celebrated annually in over 160 cities in 50 countries throughout the world including Tokyo, Paris, Moscow, Santiago, Mexico City, Hong Kong and Geneva. Night of the AdEaters attracts thousands of attendees that include both industry folks and the general public..

The Night of the AdEaters is hosted exclusively by Findr Interactive, an interactive advertising agency and Gravity Media, a full service media company. Both based in the Chelsea District of New York City. It will be supported by major media companies such as CBS Radio and Outdoor, The Daily News, AMNY and Pulse 87.7 FM. Presenting sponsors include Liberty Reserve and OpenSkies Airlines.

Guests will experience an interactive atmosphere including an OpenSkies airline raffle for a business class trip to Paris to attend the original Night of the Adeaters celebration in November. Program highlights will include a Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld spot for Microsoft, an advertising short movie directed by Martin Scorcese, and a series of commercials featuring major stars before their big break- just to name a few. The program consists of 300 commercials from 54 countries and guests will see the best creative work from around the world and have the opportunity to network with top industry companies, brands, media outlets and talent.

Partial proceeds from Night of the AdEaters will benefit Generation Next, a charity dedicated to attracting young talent to the advertising industry.
