This year, Goafest steps beyond the ballroom with Advertising Plays - a high-energy arena for inter-agency sports, wellness, and connection. Built for those who thrive on movement, teamwork, and a little healthy competition.

From fast-paced doubles tournaments to slow mornings by the sea, it brings the industry together in a shared spirit of play. Alongside competition winners, Advertising Plays will also honour standout participation with special recognitions such as "Sportiest Agency of the Year" and "Sportiest person of the year" (Male & Female) - celebrating the teams and individuals who truly bring the spirit of the games to life.

ENERGY, ACTION, PLAY.
