Agency Open House Day

Agency Open House Day: a concrete experience of agency life!

Every year in early February, around thirty agencies across the province with diverse specialities open their doors to hundreds of students to give them a taste of the industry.

 

With this initiative, the A2C wishes to demystify the world of agencies and shine a light on the career opportunities for these young leaders of tomorrow by providing them with a hands-on experience.

 

The concept is simple: students who sign up are put into groups and assigned to an agency where they’ll spend half a day getting to know the world of advertising and communications.

2026 Edition

 

The 18th edition of Agency Open House Day took place on Friday, February 13, bringing together the next generation from across Quebec.

 

In total, 34 agencies opened their doors to nearly 500 students in Montreal, Quebec City, Trois-Rivières and Sherbrooke. Through inspiring conversations, behind-the-scenes discoveries and candid discussions about the realities of the profession, the day once again immersed emerging talent in the heart of the creative communications industry.

 

For students, this event represents a unique opportunity to gain concrete insight into the day-to-day work of creatives, strategists and managers who shape the industry, to connect with passionate professionals and to better understand the many possible career paths within agencies.
