November 10th, 2020 – Following the success of the Summer Adtech Virtual Event hosted beginning of July, Smart, Samsung Ads, LiveRamp, MediaMath, Captify and MadHive come together to organise the festival’s second edition. The “Winter Adtech Virtual Event” will be held from the 7th-9th of December 2020 and accessible for all.

While 2020 has been a tough year with too few occasions to meet in person, the digital advertising world continues to evolve with key challenges and opportunities that will keep industry players busy in the coming months. Connected TV, user identity, the emerging consent economy, the boom of private marketplaces, and value path optimization are among the major topics that will inspire discussion and debate.

Hosted by Smart, Samsung Ads, LiveRamp, MediaMath, Captify and MadHive who will welcome the audience in a virtual privatized ski resort, Winter Adtech Virtual Event features a series of more than 15 round tables, bringing market experts together to share insights and debate the key topics in digital media. It also seeks to help reinforce the personal connections between customers, partners, and friends.

“Our industry never sleeps, which is what makes it so fascinating. Digital advertising is moving fast and as the complexity continues to grow, it is more important than ever before to come together to learn, to share ideas and to join forces to find the right solutions. That’s why we joined with partners to create the Winter Adtech Virtual Event. Join the conversation and enjoy hot chocolate and comfy blankets… from home!” comments Arnaud Créput – Smart’s CEO. 

Registrations, updated program, agenda and speakers for this cooperative festival are on the event’s website.
