Event guide
Why this event is on the calendar
The ANA In-House Agency Conference took place June 22–24, 2026 in Huntington Beach. It is a practitioner conference for brands that operate or are considering internal creative, media or production capabilities, with the ANA's in-housing research providing much of the strategic context.
The archive is most useful for understanding how brand-side teams discussed talent, operating models, workflow, measurement and the agency relationship in 2026. The ANA now lists the program among past industry conferences; that is historical evidence, not confirmation of a repeat at the same location.
Who gets value from it
In-house agency leaders, CMOs, creative and production executives, marketing-operations teams, procurement, media leaders and specialist partners serving internal agencies.
How the day tends to work
The useful conversations are peer-to-peer: how teams are staffed, what work stays in-house, how external partners are managed and how output is measured. It is well suited to leaders who can share operating constraints candidly and take back practical governance ideas.
