Leadership Forum IV
November 4, 2008
Prices from £99
The most senior leaders in online advertising operations from across the industry will gather at London’s Cafe Royal on November 4th for our Our fourth European Leadership forum. While maintaining our exclusive focus on online adops, our Leadership Forum series includes a wider array of industry players from leading digital and creative agencies, publishers, portals, advertising networks, and selected technical service providers. In essence, if you run an online advertising operations team, you should be at the Leadership Forum. A typical attendee profile is someone who has been in the industry from 4+ years and is the most senior member of the ad operations team at their organization. While our publisher forum brings in manager-level people and higher, the Leadership Forum is geared more towards the director and VP level.

This one-day event is composed of a keynote from an industry leader, several group presentations, and a series of structured, interactive, team-based workshops. The goal of the day is to identify issues in common from the various types of companies present and, more importantly, immediate, actionable steps attendees can take to improve operations within their organizations. Tactical outcomes are the goal of the day and typically, attendees see immediate results from their teams.

Key topics will include: social network advertising; emerging creative technology trends; behavioural targeting; agency/publisher trading tools; and much more

Session Leaders
One of the elements that makes AdMonsters unique is that all of our sessions are led by our members. It is our belief that no one knows more about the current state of online ad operations than those people who attend our events. As such, we draw on the vast pool of experience offered by our members who share their recent experiences, successes, and challenges with the wider group. By exchanging these best practices, case studies, and other specific examples of how an ad operations team can better execute its functions, it is our firm belief that the industry will be better positioned to scale.

We are always looking for energetic and engaging individuals to lead sessions, workshops, and breakouts. If you are thinking of attending and would like to put your name forward as a session leader, please contact us to let us know about your interest.
