The Academic Break is Here

March 25, 2019
Communication students who wish to attend Uruguay's largest advertising event are eligible for a significant discount on registration.

The 30th edition of Desachate will take place on Friday, April 5, at the Hotel del Lago (Punta del Este). The Desachate Académico program invites ORT students to participate in various activities at a special rate.

The schedule indicates that departure is at 7:30 a.m. from the Uruguayan Advertising Association, with breakfast served on board. This will be followed by access to all the talks, lunch, and coffee breaks, with the return scheduled for 7:30 p.m. The speakers will be Anita Ríos, Martín Mercado, Mariano Jeger, Paula Páramo, and Carlos Pérez.

Diego Lev—Chief Creative Officer and partner atNotable Publicidad, and this year’s president of Desachate—spoke at ORT about “creative solutions to everyday problems.” During his talk, he invited young people to participate in Desachate.

It’s an annual conference that has been held for 30 years, where essentially the entire Uruguayan advertising industry gathers to share ideas, listen to presentations, and connect with colleagues, former coworkers, and friends in the industry. It’s a place for learning and inspiration.

The registration fee for the Desachate Académico is $160, thanks to the university's institutional sponsorship of the event.

Universidad ORT Uruguay sends the list of registered participants to the Uruguayan Advertising Association. All other arrangements, including payment collection, are handled by the Association itself.
