AdMonsters announces the theme for Sell Side Summit Austin 2025: The Connected Future: Your Roadmap Back to Publisher Growth & Profitability. Join the sell-side community Nov. 2–4 to explore interoperability, revenue models, and sustainable strategies for publishers.
AdMonsters, powered by the Chief Marketer Network, announced the theme for its upcoming Sell Side Summit Austin, taking place November 2-4, 2025: “The Connected Future: Your Roadmap Back to Publisher Growth & Profitability.”
The event will bring together the sell-side and ad ops community to explore how publishers can move beyond fragmentation and create the connections that drive sustainable growth.
The refreshed theme and branding underscore the reality facing today’s publishers: rising costs, shifting user behaviors, and siloed data require more than short-term fixes.
The Connected Future is about building interoperable systems, community connections, and revenue models that prepare publishers not just for today’s challenges, but for the opportunities ahead.
“The Connected Future is about more than linking data points — it’s about connecting people, processes, and platforms in ways that are sustainable and actionable for publishers,” said Lynne d Johnson, Sr. Director, Event Programming and Community, Ad Tech & Convergent Media at Chief Marketer Network.
“This November in Austin, we’ll unpack how publishers can navigate an agent-driven future without losing sight of the human element that makes this industry thrive. I’m curating a program designed to help our community tackle interoperability challenges, re-think revenue models, and strengthen the bonds that make us stronger together.”
As the first stop on the AdMonsters roadmap into 2026, Sell Side Summit Austin will feature hands-on workshops, peer-to-peer discussions, and forward-looking sessions covering topics such as:
- The Human Side of Connected Infrastructure — How traffickers and ops teams remain relevant in automated workflows.
- Turning Fragmented Advertisers into Connected Partners — Practical ways to guide clients through omnichannel campaigns.
- Building Trust in the Connected Ecosystem — Positioning teams as consultative leaders in an era of rapid change.
- Leading for the Connected Future — Inspiring and equipping teams while reducing burnout.
- From Silos to Synergy — Breaking down workflow silos without large-scale restructuring.
The AdMonsters community has long been known for its collaborative spirit and peer-driven knowledge exchange, and this year’s Sell Side Summit promises to reinforce that sense of community while delivering actionable strategies for the year ahead.
Sell Side Summit Austin will take place November 2–4, 2025, just outside Austin, TX. Registration opens soon.
