AdMonsters Meetup: Where Viewability Diverges

September 11, 2014

Where Viewability Diverges

6:00 pm to 9:00 pm

With the display standard officially approved and the MRC advisory lifted, publishers are bracing for a slew of viewability-laden RFPs to hit just in time for the fourth quarter of 2014. But just as viewability methodology differs from provider to provider, how viewability is transacted on differs from publisher to publisher. Best practices for a news site may not be the same for a niche information provider or a listing service, but publishers can learn a great deal about viewability from hearing other trials and travails.

During this Chicago Meetup, Cars.com’s Dan Blasko and Tribune Publishing’s Molly O’Keefe will compare and contrast their viewability experiences while inviting publisher and agency attendees to share their insights. Join us for networking, noshing and, of course, a deep dive into viewability.

FAQ

What’s a Meetup?

A Meetup is an informal gathering where digital revenue strategists can network with their peers and join a moderated discussion on a pertinent ad tech topic – consider it a mini-AdMonsters event that's free to attend. Learn how companies like yours are working through challenges and driving revenue while connecting with industry folks you already know or are just meeting. (Who knows? You may find a new bestie!) 

Who can come? If you work for a publisher or agency, you can – and should – join us! Certain service providers may also join depending on topics, sponsors and locations. AdMonsters will vet registration to make sure the audience is mainly pubs and agencies. We'll send you a confirmation email to let you know you're in.
