International Advertising Festival.
Ideal place for catching the summer for a week or so, when it's almost gone, Batumi is a little resort city, situated on the coast of the Black Sea. Subtropical climate and warm sea at this time of the year make this city a perfect choice for work and fun at the same time.
For past couple of years, every September, Batumi is welcoming creatives from all over the world. This time around International Advertising Festival - AdBlackSea'17 is held on a bigger scale, as the festival is growing bigger every year.
