Eight Charter Partners and Two Keynote Speakers Announced for ELEVATE Conference

I'm very pleased to announce that eight industry-leading companies have come on board as charter partners for ELEVATE: Online Video Advertising Summit on Tuesday, June 7th in New York City. In addition, two of the most esteemed executives in the industry, Albert Cheng, Executive Vice President, Digital Media, Disney/ABC Television, and David Kenny, President, Akamai Technologies (and former Managing Partner of VivaKi, and Chairman/CEO of Digitas), will be delivering keynotes. David Kenny will also be moderating a panel discussion including 2-3 senior executives from a brand/agency/content publisher following his remarks.

ELEVATE's eight charter partners include:

Title Partners: Auditude, VINDICO
 
Premier Partners: Adap.tv
 
Headline Partners: Innovid, HealthiNation, Panache, RAMP
 
Participating Partners: Undertone Networks

ELEVATE: Online Video Advertising Summit will bring together senior executives from brands, agencies, content publishers, technology providers and other stakeholders in the online video ecosystem. ELEVATE's mission is to help accelerate the already surging online video advertising industry by providing key industry executives with high-impact market education. The ELEVATE web site is now officially live as well, and will be constantly updated with news, additional speakers, session and other information.

Since announcing ELEVATE last month, my partner Marc Sternberg (who was until recently president and COO of AlwaysOn, the technology industry conference/networking company) and I have been meeting with dozens of people throughout the online video and online video advertising industries. We've received tremendously positive feedback on ELEVATE and strong validation of ELEVATE's mission and our approach. We are particularly grateful for the support and confidence of ELEVATE's eight charter partners.

We're working very collaboratively with these partners and with lots of others in the online video ecosystem to develop a thoughtful, highly relevant agenda full of key insights and data. The skeleton of the agenda is available now, with LOTS more to come. Our goal is to have ELEVATE be both an important forum for learning, but also a place where business gets done between buyers and sellers.

Early bird discounted tickets are now available for purchase through the web site for $495. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.
