 OpsX events are the ideal environment for ad industry peers to learn, share, and connect.

These evening events are like mini-AdMonsters conferences—except they’re free to attend! Digital revenue strategists gather to hear insightful case studies as well as join moderated discussions on pertinent ad tech topics. But most important, attendees get the chance to hook up with the people that understand the challenges they face both large and small. 

Learn how companies like yours are navigating the ever-growing obstacles of the digital advertising space, while also connecting with industry folks you already know or are just meeting. (Who knows? You may find a new bestie!)

Case Study: Audience Extension to the Max

In theory, audience extension is a great way for publishers to “create inventory” and give advertisers more of what they crave—a publisher’s dedicated audience—all over the web. However, execution has often run into snafus with performance that is less than impressive. The obstacles haven’t stymied Edmunds, which has boosted the channel with tools like dynamic creative optimization to prosperous effect. Director of Ad Product Technology Madhura Sengupta will take attendees through the development and scope of the program, offering advice on how to ramp up their own audience extension efforts. 

Panel: The Challenges and Opportunities Ahead

We may have rung in a new year, but digital media revenue professionals have a lot of the same old problems… Oh yeah, some fresh ones as well, and we’re expecting more down the line!

A diverse panel will discusses the biggest challenges as well as where publishers are seeing success. Is there hope for mobile monetization or will we all bow down to the duopoly of Facebook and Google? What’s next for header bidding and is server-to-server the real deal? Finally, what looming issue is keeping digital revenue types up at night?
