5 – 8 p.m.: Harnessing the Next-Gen Tech Stack

Harnessing the Next-Gen Tech Stack

The game has changed: publishers are mastering the tools of private marketplaces and open RTB to push out holistic programmatic programs. At the same time, native advertising programs are driving interest and revenue from advertisers, but present new challenges in terms of bridging technologies and workflow. How do publishers strap these programs together to maximize their revenue potential? WhitePages’ Eric Meixner and Jeff Mayer join United Online Media’s Santo Criscuolo in sharing their experiences in this fast-changing environment and discussing what’s required for next-generation stack optimization and management.
