AdMonsters Leadership Forum

Overview

As the online media industry matures and moves into a phase of renewed growth, there is much to be gained by building stronger ties and closer working relationships amongst operations staff not only within online publishers, but also between publishers, agencies, and advertisers.

At AdMonsters Leadership Forum, operationally-savvy creatives, planners, and buyers from agencies and direct advertisers will join leaders in online ad operations from many of the world’s leading online media brands to share best practices and develop strategies for increasing the profitability of online media and the share of overall ad spend that goes to online.

AdMonsters is a unique forum has been bringing together the senior decision makers in online advertising operations for over 10 years. Not just a conference, and much more than a trade show, AdMonsters is an intimate, round-table forum where real work get done. No time is wasted, and the forum is small enough that everyone comes away having met everyone else personally – yet another feature unique to AdMonsters.

Discussion topics range from ad operations workflow optimization to inventory and yield management to cookies and ad blocking to case studies on the latest tools & technologies. AdMonsters' high-level goal is to foster increased profitability of online advertising by providing our members with a uniquely powerful forum in which to address industry-wide concerns, exchange best practices, and, ultimately, improve productivity and take market share from other media.
