The CTV Advertising Brand Suitability Summit (virtual) is two weeks away, on Nov. 16th and 17th and I’m really excited about how it has come together. There are now 28 amazing speakers confirmed on 10 sessions across the two afternoons (with a few more speakers still to be added).

The speakers reflect the diversity of our industry and I’m confident will share a wide range of perspectives and insights that will elevate our collective understanding of CTV advertising, brand suitability and safety, and DE&I. These are complex and interrelated topics that must be better understood in order to unlock the full potential of CTV/streaming/advertising technology and innovation.

I’m honored that these executives are taking time from their busy schedules to speak at the Summit. A reminder, the Summit is the first and only connected TV advertising industry event that is 100% focused on all aspects of brand suitability and safety, including the integral role of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

I’m also gratified to have Dentsu, GroupM, Horizon Media, Publicis Media and UM Worldwide - 5 of the biggest U.S. advertising agencies - as Agency Partners. I have committed to directing 10% of all sponsorship revenue to Agency Partners to support their DE&I initiatives.
