Events and Education

The digital world is fast, exciting and extremely vast. As such, it can be difficult to keep up with the technologies that are continuously being developed and have the potential to change the way that we all behave. Businesses need to be prepared for the future to ensure that they are not left behind by their consumers. This workshop will look into the future of digital advertising, such as AI, Voice, and Mixed Reality, to help us understand what brands need to be considering for the, now, not so far away future.

Feeling confused about what kind of Brexit we should be expecting, let alone what it means for the digital advertising industry?  With precious little official guidance available, we don’t blame you.  To help out, IAB UK will be holding a Brexit Breakfast Briefing on Wednesday 23 January, cutting through the noise and panic to provide expert advice on what the latest developments mean for you and your industry specifically.
 
The Briefing will set out the most likely Brexit outcomes, what it will mean for international trade, data and e-privacy, the impact it will have on the online advertising industry specifically, and what you should be doing to prepare for it.
 
Providing expert advice will be Konrad Shek, a former diplomat who has been working with IAB UK and the Advertising Association to help the Government to develop its official Brexit plans.

The future is something that is both exciting  and fascinating; and the future of digital advertising is no different. The IAB’s mission is to build a sustainable future for digital advertising, of which helping businesses to prepare for the future is part of.

This seminar, shaped by the IAB Future Trends Group, explores trends that may very well have an impact on our industry. From technological advancements in artificial intelligence to the evolution of digital channels as we know them, the talks at this seminar will give an insight into the exciting possibilities that the future holds for the digital advertising industry.

The digital display market has been rapidly ‘going Programmatic’ and soon, this will also affect traditional media channels (OOH, TV, Radio).

This course is for those in sales who need to know more about what they are up against when they start to hear from their agencies that spend will no longer come their way ‘because it has all gone Programmatic’ or ‘has all gone to the internal Trading Desk’; or alternatively those who need to be aware of what the changes might mean for their businesses, and what they can do about it.

Join us for the first Research Breakfast of the year where we will be showcasing some of the most recent industry research covering a variety of topics. 

Stayed tuned for more!

Programmatic trading makes up 80% of all digital display advertising and that has been forecasted to increase to up to 95% by 2020 (Source: IAB / PwC 2017 Digital Adspend Study). 

Programmatic advertising has, and continues to, completely transformed the advertising space with continuous developments in new technology. This seminar will cover the trends the industry is seeing in programmatic, what works, how it works, what needs to be considered when putting together a strategy, and the direction we expect this fascinating topic to go in the future.
