Matrix, the developers of the only global ad sales platform built for media, released the agenda for the 6th annual Media Ad Sales Summit. The agenda, includes a mix of panel discussions, keynote conversations, and a town-hall style roundtable with media executives, will focus on addressing the media industry’s biggest challenges and opportunities. The Summit will take place November 8-10, 2023, returning to the Conrad Hotel in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
A few of the highly-anticipated sessions slotted for this year’s summit include ‘TV/Video Measurements & Currency (attribution and data)’, a ‘Local Media Outlook ’24’ discussion with some of today’s top media agencies, and “Tomorrow Tangible Today: Dispatches From the "Future", which will delve into a few of the most promising tech innovations on the horizon for TV/video and media, including generative AI, "big data," natural language processing, the "metaverse," and, of course, ATSC 3.0.
Additional sessions aimed to keep attendees up-to-speed with the media marketplace will include a keynote conversation with station group leaders who will share their up-to-the minute insights on the current state of broadcasting and share their predictions for the year ahead. Also, the ‘Political Advertising: Local's Biennial Fix’ session will dissect the proverbial floodgate of new PAC-funded political ad spending into the US local TV marketplace, how long it will continue, and what it will cost.
