First-party power: Turning data into deeper connections and smarter measurement

So Google decided to keep third-party cookies around after all? It hardly matters. With shifts in consumer behavior and the deprecation of cookies and growing privacy expectations, first-party data has never been more critical. In this session, marketing leaders will discuss how to unlock the full potential of their owned data—turning customer insights into smarter targeting, personalized storytelling, and real-time measurement. We'll explore how brands are building stronger consumer relationships, achieving greater marketing efficiency, and measuring success in a privacy-first world. It's not just about having the data, it's about using it to drive meaningful results.

Where people move, brands follow: Unlocking programmatic DOOH’s full-funnel power

Out-of-home is no longer a one-way broadcast. Programmatic technology has transformed DOOH into a flexible, data-informed channel that can drive results across the full funnel—from brand awareness to in-store traffic to digital re-engagement. This panel will unpack how advertisers are leveraging programmatic DOOH for more than just reach—tapping into data, dynamic creative, and cross-channel integration to meet audiences on the move. Whether syncing with retail campaigns, amplifying CTV buys, or optimizing based on performance signals, DOOH is now part of the omnichannel toolkit.

From ID to AI: Rethinking identity through intelligence, not just identifiers

As the digital ad ecosystem moves beyond cookies and identifiers, marketers face a new reality: fragmented signals, shifting standards, and measurement blind spots. At the same time, AI is transitioning from headline concept into practical advantage, enabling powerful efficiencies for advertisers that can protect against these headwinds. This panel explores how location intelligence—supercharged by AI—offers a more resilient alternative that goes beyond IDs: one that unites physical and digital behavior to build richer, more dynamic audiences. This results in smarter, more intent-based campaigns that adapt across environments, whether IDs are present or not. We’ll unpack how this shift enables unified audience planning, cross-screen optimization, and real-world measurement to better reflect how people actually live and predict future behavior. It’s a bold, forward-thinking conversation on identity and AI—without the identity crisis.

Facts over fakes: Why the open internet matters

The digital advertising market is increasingly controlled a few powerful tech giants. As a result, advertisers are losing transparency, data sovereignty, and direct access to their audiences—as well as control over the environments in which their brands appear. Despite this growing dependency, many brands continue to focus on these closed ecosystems, often due to a lack of scalable alternatives. Yet there is an alternative: the open internet. Our panel brings together leaders who understand the essential role of premium, trustworthy environments in today's digital advertising: advertiser, agencies, publisher, tech provider and T-Ads.
