1:00 - 2:00 pmBear Market? Bull! Innovators Discuss Emerging Platforms & the Future of Online Advertising
Advertising technology products used to be closed solutions that limited their customers to being of a certain type, performing only set actions. The rise of new advertising platforms built from the ground up to be open and support multiple business models has led to a new breed of players that might not fit the conventional advertiser/publisher/ad network definitions. Visit with our panel of companies who don't conform to standard definitions, but instead focus on adding new value to the overall advertising ecosystem by taking advantage of open and flexible platforms.
