Edmonton's advertising club is one of the longest running advertising and ad-related groups in the whole country. Formed by a small and feisty group of advertising professionals in 1977, the club welcomed graphic designers, media planners, photographers, printers, production houses, various media and students.

ACE - the Advertising Club of Edmonton, started in the living room of Don and Beth McIntyre. Now, over 300 strong, the Advertising Club of Edmonton (ACE), marked its 25th Anniversary in March of 2003, with a full-day professional development conference, homecoming and annual ACE Awards Banquet. Watch for details of the ACE 50th Anniversary, scheduled for 2027/28.
