ON Brand 2026: Brand Human
The ON Brand 2026 Conference is a collaboration of AAF Nebraska, AMA Lincoln, AMA Omaha and PRSA Nebraska. For eight years, these organizations have unified their voices to advance the marketing and communications industry in our region.
This year’s theme, Brand Human, intentionally shifts the focus away from professional titles to celebrate the people behind them. Whether you are navigating a career pivot, a professional transition or seeking to level up in your current role, our tracks bridge the gap between public relations, communications, brand, marketing and advertising.
Join us to learn from Omaha’s own storytellers and turn inspiration into a concrete roadmap for your career and your personal growth.

Our lineup features homegrown expertise and local leaders dedicated to the strength of our professional community:
