Rebuilding identity to benefit the Open Web
When?
Monday, June 29th
2:00 PM CET
Co-hosted by Smart and ID5
Identity accounts for 50 to 60% of publishers’ ad revenue: identifiable users are worth 57% more than anonymous ones. The deprecation of 3rd party cookies will make it harder for publishers to identify users and will strengthen the walled gardens' competitive advantage. Join the panel discussion to discover what we need to do to build a new identification infrastructure that supports the open web without compromising user privacy.

CTV and OTT: the strong momentum for programmatic video advertising
When?
Tuesday, June 30th
4:00 - 5:00 PM CET
Addressable TV comes of age with OTT and CTV: it is expected to be the biggest winner in terms of overall changes in total ad spend in the near future. Brands will be able to connect with engaged audiences in premium video environments with benefits of digital for both branding and performance. But still there will be technical challenges to properly scale (user targeting, device fragmentation, measurement...).
In our panel we will discuss the opportunity for buyers how to leverage them now and in the future.
