Leadership Forum EU V

AdMonsters Leadership Forum: A Summit for Digital Advertising Operations LeadersHappy AdMonsters

AdMonsters is the only professional association exclusively dedicated to online advertising operations and technology. AdMonsters Leadership Forum will bring together 35 of the most senior leaders in online ad operations in a unique peer to peer round table discussion format. Our Leadership Forum is effectively an executive summit for digital ad operations -- a meeting of the minds for those leading operations online.
Many of the key challenges facing the industry are shared across the various stakeholders. As online marketing continues to gain market share against other media, it will be increasingly important to be able to scale our operations. By gathering the most senior leaders in ad operations to identify bottlenecks in the workflow, analyze the vendor marketplace, work out pain points, and identify short-term, tactical solutions to the most pressing problems, the AdMonsters Leadership Forum will help to make this scale possible.
Hot topics this year are: Widgets & "Web 2.0" advertising technologies; Behavioural Targeting Strategies & Challenges; Addressing an increasingly fragmented media landscape; Scaling your operations team; Best Practices of Ad Exchanges & Networks; Agency/Publisher Trading Systems; and much more. Join the AdMonsters Leadership Forum and have your say. YOU can make a difference in the direction the industry takes.
