Morning Registration
Conference Chair Opening
CTV is no longer a separate, foreign channel, but thanks to digital connections and platforms, and the evolution of retail media, it’s now within scope and a necessity for all D2C professionals. Now is the moment to broker a commercial mind-share between all the major players, from channel owners, agencies, platforms, tech providers with the brands and advertisers. This day is that conversation.
BRIEF
MARKET REALITIES & EMERGING TRENDS
A macro look at the shifting landscape: Advanced TV, CTV & Addressable Advertising – Where are we now and what are the trends shaping the future of TV advertising?
As the TV landscape rapidly evolves, brands and retailers are navigating a shift from traditional linear campaigns to a dynamic, data-rich ecosystem of Advanced TV. This opening session offers a high-level view of the macro trends shaping the future of television advertising—from one-size-fits-all broadcast to precision-targeted viewing. We’ll demystify the key terms—CTV, OTT, Addressable, and Programmatic Linear—and explore how each format is reshaping audience reach, creative engagement, and performance measurement. The session will explore what’s working now, what’s gaining traction, and the barriers still holding back broader adoption and scale. We’ll explore the power of contextual and emerging AI solutions, live streaming, and cultural moment advertising — and the unique opportunities they offer for brands and retailers.
