Executive speakers span the buy side and sell side; established and earlier-stage media; product, sales, technology and business development. From C-level through VP-level, they will all bring their insights based on front line experience with CTV. I’m grateful to all of them for carving time out of their busy schedules to share their thought leadership with all of us.

I’m also extremely proud of the breadth of representation among speakers, as diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) has long been a key goal of mine for VideoNuze events. There is more work to do, but we’ve made great strides.

Yesterday was VideoNuze’s Connected TV Advertising Brand Suitability Summit virtual which included 24 speakers on 5 sessions. On today’s podcast nScreenMedia’s Colin Dixon and I discuss some of the key highlights from the afternoon, including the session Colin moderated.

Speakers are optimistic about CTV for many reasons, despite economic uncertainty. However, throughout the afternoon many noted challenges in transparency, frequency management, fragmentation and measurement. Speakers shared their thoughts on what’s being done, and still needs to be done, to address these challenges.

Consistent with the conference’s theme, there was a lot of focus on how advertisers and agencies are thinking about brand suitability and also what initiatives they’re pursuing to promote DE&I within their organizations and the work they do. I’ll be posting all of the session videos early next week on VideoNuze for on-demand viewing.
