Panel: RMNs and The New Media Shopping Cart
With some of the best first-party data available, and point-of-purchase placement in such a range of customer journeys, are RMNs poised to replace Google as a pillar of ad strategy? Effective, but pricey, how are these new walled gardens impacting data-driven media plans? Where do they fit within an integrated strategy? And are they really delivering incremental value or just taking credit for customers you were already going to get?

Case Study: Navigating the road to a Cookieless Future: Predictions, Progress, and the Path Forward
In 2020, digital media buyers had to plan how to begin preparing advertisers for cookie deprecation, requiring predications about where to focus both short-term and long-term efforts of their clients. Four years later, how have those predictions held up? Manny Hernandez will explore the current state of cookieless preparation from the buy-side perspective. We'll review the solutions currently being tested by marketers and will share initial learnings and observations.

Panel: The New Context(ual): Leveraging the Post-Cookie Return to Content
Are we back where we started? Content and contextual targeting is back in vogue as a response to cookie deprecation. But how are planners best leveraging newer contextual networks, publishers' data, and AI tools to ensure the right adjacencies? How are they making these campaigns more effective, validating traffic, automating, and optimizing campaigns? Are we losing the efficiencies and accountability in this switch from audience targeting back to content proxies delivery?
