That's why we'd like to invite you to our next Faculty Industry Seminar taking place in-person on Friday, December 1st in NYC!

The IRTS Advantage

For more than half a century, the IRTS has staged Faculty Seminars to help educators keep their teaching timely and relevant. We also have a reputation for having one of the nation's most prestigious expense-paid Summer Fellowship Programs and one of the longest-running Multicultural Career Workshops.

We know that introducing students of all backgrounds, interests, and majors to the variety of career opportunities in media is key to our industry's success. We hope you'll join us for an informative day!

Seminar Sessions

The Power of Partnerships

The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Content and Advertising
Grasp the future of AI through a presentation by an accomplished executive known for implementing growth strategies for global media, technology, and advertising companies.

Evolution of a Network: That was Then, This is Now

Conferee Selection

IRTS wants to invest in those who are most passionate about teaching the next generation of professionals, as well as those who can best apply their knowledge to curriculum or the academic community at large. Today's digital universe requires a wide range of skills. This program can be of value to faculty from a multitude of disciplines such as communications, advertising, marketing, business, and liberal arts.

There is high demand in our industry for students from all of these disciplines, but they tend to lack awareness of where opportunity now exists in our rapidly changing business.

There is a short application process, and depending on the response, we may need to limit the number of professionals we can take from one school. Faculty and Career Services staff from all departments are encouraged to apply, but you must be currently employed by a 4-year institution.

Application Deadline: Wednesday, November 8th
