Following a turbulent year, it's time for marketers to once again recalibrate their relationship with technology across their businesses. If last year proved anything, it’s that successful pivots boil down to agility. This involves engaging consumers with relevant, empathetic messages, prioritizing privacy, and capitalizing on both new and proven channels. 
 

Join the third annual Adweek NexTech to hear from brand executives and technology leaders who will provide insights into integrated strategies you'll need to succeed in 2021. During the three-day event, you'll also hear first-hand from the teams responsible for tactical implementation, providing a clear-eyed perspective on both the successes and the challenges the industry faces and how to stay nimble.

Agenda Overview

Three days. Three themes.

Day One —
What’s Next: Programmatic and Cross-Channel Measurement

This year, programmatic advertising is on track to account for 87 percent of U.S. digital ad spend, per eMarketer. This follows a 10.4 percent bump in programmatic digital last year. As consumer behavior continues to favor multiple streaming services and viewer fragmentation accelerates, advertisers must shift their focus to measure cross-platform reach and frequency in real-time. Hear from leading marketers and ad buyers as they shed a light on their strategies for success in effective cross-channel measurement and winning programmatic strategies that scale.
