Thanks to header bidding and other programmatic advances, the number of demand sources a typical publisher employs has skyrocketed. This means a lot more data coming back from a great deal of sources. Managing this inundation of data is only the beginning—getting insight and transparency into performance is a lot tougher. Even still—what else should and could you be doing with that data?

AdMonsters will lead a panel exploring the challenges in reporting—particularly with growing programmatic sources—but also the road forward in data normalization for direct sales, programmatic, and finance.
