Introducing Unruly Trust Talks: The Great Programmatic Debate

Unruly is excited to announce the first in a brand new series of programmatic events – The Great Programmatic Debate.

On April 24, we’re bringing together the sharpest minds in Adland to discuss some of the biggest challenges and opportunities that are shaping the programmatic ecosystem.

The Great Programmatic Debate will feature voices from all corners of the advertising industry – including leaders from The Economist, the Guardian, Accenture, Carat and Mindshare – debating best practices for navigating the ever-evolving landscape of M&A, privacy legislation and digital ID management.

Running from 8.30am – 12pm, the event will feature four panels covering a range of topics. These are:

8.30am – 9.00am – Registration

9.00am – 9.10am – Welcome

9.10am – 9.30am – Winter is Finally Over for Premium Publishers

Being a publisher in 2018 is nothing if not complex. Header bidding for video is gaining momentum, initiatives like ads.txt and ads.cert are held up as golden geese in the fight against fraud, while the 1st versus 2nd price auction debate continues to rage. Our panel will feature leading voices discussing all this and more.
