Panel Discussion with Audience Q&A: The Evolution and Future of the Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF)
The Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF) is the only GDPR consent solution built by the industry for the industry, to create a true industry-standard approach. But what is its current status? And how is it set to evolve and develop in the future?
This panel discussed the latest version of the TCF v2.0 and its market adoption. It explored how it is set to evolve and how the industry will need to support and help evolve the framework going forward.

Keynote Presentation: Working Towards a Sustainable Programmatic Value Chain for All - Daniel Knapp, Chief Economist, IAB Europe
Data from SSPs is a crucial tool for publishers to succeed in programmatic; from understanding advertiser and agency demand and spend patterns, managing inventory, setting prices, obtaining information for vendor QBRs and client briefings, as a source of intelligence for AdOps and Sales, and as the foundation for ongoing optimisation. As digital advertising switches towards a cookieless world, insights that can guide a monetisation strategy are ever more crucial. In this presentation, Daniel Knapp shared how we can work towards this.
