The 2018 AICP Show Chairperson is Robin Shenfield, CEO and Co-Founder of The Mill; the 2018 AICP Next Awards Judging Chair is Susan Credle, Global Chief Creative Officer of FCB. Both serve as Chairs of their hand-picked Curatorial Committees that are made up of a virtual powerhouse of the best and the brightest in various disciplines in the industry. As part of the curatorial duties, these committees review all judging results determined by the hundreds of judges (each uniquely judging only one of the 32 categories), and have been tasked with assembling the final shows.
