Panels & Firesides
There is perhaps no more challenging question confronting publishers than the path forward in the zero-click future of Google’s AI Overviews. In this session, we hear about one innovators’ ambition to attack this – Perplexity’s Head of Publisher Partnerships, Jessica Chan.
Join us for an illuminating discussion on the Private Equity view of the state of the media and advertising deal market, current investment themes, and AI’s impact on the industry with two of the industry’s leading investors, Lucy Dobrin from Providence Equity and Eric Franchi from Aperium Ventures moderated by Richard McDermott Managing Director Rosenblatt Securities media and advertising investment banking group.
The rise of AI in marketing is juicing startups’ mojo, as they see transformational new opportunities and disruption to incumbents. In this panel, we drill into that with two of the best in the field, Rembrand CEO/Founder (& newest director of The Trade Desk) Omar Tawakol, and Tom Chavez, Co-Founder and General Partner of startup studio super[set].
Google's been found guilty of violating antitrust law in AdTech. What should be done? What's likely? With the remedy trial fresh, we probe that with an all-star panel, including author/blogger/AdTech expert Ari Paparo, PubMatic CEO/Co-Founder Rajeev Goel, Magnite Chief Product Officer Adam Soroca, and Gannet Chief Legal Officer Polly Grunfeld Sack.
