So. Many. Events. I know we are part of the event congestion you’re suffering from, but the only solution we see is to keep working harder to make our events better. AdTech Economic Forum is an example. What a lift to pull it off but what a payoff. It was so good.
Taking all of the events and announcements this month, the game is changing. Scope3’s agentic plans redefine some assumptions we’ve had about how we can transact. IAB Tech Lab’s Trusted Server could do the same. Knock the Privacy Sandbox, but Dotdash Meredith is using it to tie their first-party data strategy together. At the AdTech Economic Forum, we heard people looking to invest millions of dollars into new ideas - not a retread of what’s been done in the past.
With all this movement by others, what are you doing? You can decide that what you are doing doesn’t matter. I assure you, you will prove yourself correct. The game is changing. Remove the weight of cynicism about what we do and explore what we can do. Game on!
The agenda is published! There are still a few spots pending approval, but the bulk is there. Check it out!

Last week, we announced a few speakers. More have been secured, but while we work on clever titles, let’s talk about what we want to tackle on May 6th at Navigator New York:
- A new kind of publisher is emerging without all the legacy baggage. What can we learn from them?
- Our alignment with chief product and chief data officers is evolving as we rethink revenue strategies. Let’s bring them into our world and join theirs.
- Agency and brands are evolving their strategies as well. Let’s talk to them!
- A first-party data strategy that only focuses on ad targeting has missed the forest for the trees.
- Privacy compliance may be costing you unnecessarily.
- People aren’t waiting for programmatic to fix itself. Let’s discuss the new ways to move forward.
- No other conference talks about direct sold as much as we do even though for some publishers it is the majority of their revenue.
For you buzzword seekers: AI, curation, attribution, CTV, ads.txt, return of Flash, commerce media, attention metrics, Super Signal Aggregators, etc.*
- some items in that list were added for differential privacy reasons. If you think that’s funny, you have to attend.

Big speaker and topic announcements are coming next week, we promise! This week, we wanted to share the event's location: Glaziers Hall. Glaziers Hall is next to London Bridge on London’s South Bank. It’s a much bigger space than last year and will allow us to do proper breakouts. More breakouts mean more specific topics. More specific topics mean more opportunities for you to help us craft the discussion to make this a must-attend event for you and your teams.
