The framing

For most of the last decade, the advertising industry has lived inside a translation problem.

Advertisers talk in moods.
DSPs talk in keywords.
Publishers talk in genres.

Everyone agrees context matters, but it's never been able to scale. That's about to stop being true, but the people who see it most clearly are scattered across publishers, agencies, brands, and a handful of standards bodies. They're rarely in the same room.

On Monday, June 22, we're bringing thirty of them together at the Carlton's Grand Salon. Expect a memorable meal, candid disagreement, and a lot of laughs with a group of people who like to see around corners.

Hosted by Coactive. Sponsored by NVIDIA. No press or recordings.
