It’s now just one week now until DMEXCO kicks off in Cologne at the Koelnmesse exhibition centre. And while many of us will spend the majority of the two days hopping from stand to stand in the exhibition halls, there’s plenty going on in the conference venues – with video heavily featured once again. To help you navigate your way around the event, we’ve created a guide to help you hone in on the video and TV highlights at this year’s DMEXCO.
Video Ad News is an official media partner of the event, and we will be bringing you the latest thought leadership and news from the event in partnership with Amobee, Cadent, Finecast, Invidi, RTL AdConnect (Hall 8.1, Stand B021 C028), SpotX (Hall 8.1, Stand B021 C028), Sublime (Hall 6.1, Stand D058), Telaria, Xandr (Hall 6.1, Stand C028, B029), and Zefr (Hall 6.1, Stand E051).
Coming Soon: The Video & OTT Advertising Guide 2020
Our annual guide, the Video & OTT Advertising Guide, is now in its third year, and we honestly believe this our best yet. This year’s guide was produced in collaboration with Amobee, Cadent, Finecast, Invidi, RTL AdConnect, SpotX, Sublime, Telaria, Xandr and Zefr, and covers the changing OTT landscape, the industry’s sleeping giants and how OTT is transforming sports distribution. The guide also features an interview with industry legend Sir Martin Sorrell, executive director of S4 Capital, as well as contributions from Sarah Mansfield, VP of global media for Europe and the Americas at Unilever, Belinda Smith, head of global marketing intelligence at EA, and many others. And it will include industry maps for both video and connected-TV/OTT, covering the UK, France, Germany and Spain. You can pick up your copy from trade press stands around the exhibition centre, and it will also be available to download here at videoadnews.com.
