Spikes Asia will be presenting a series of workshops this September. Reiterating the concept that the best way to learn is through a hands-on approach, the event has eight interactive sessions led by some of the world's most creative thinkers.

Spikes Asia is the first Asian Advertising Festival that aims to bring together some of the finest creative thinkers from across the region and globally, will be held in Singapore from 16-18 September 2009.
