16:37 - 17:15 - Leading the Digital Advertising Industry into a New Era of Trust & Responsibility Panel Discussion
Digital advertising is an integral part of the European economy. Our industry is at the forefront of technology innovation and creativity, building digital products, ensuring media pluralism and enabling consumer choice.
But the industry has fallen short of creating a trusted and credible environment towards policy makers and civil society on how it operates – from the role of data and personalisation to the platforms we use and the media products that need to be funded. In short, our contributions and intentions are not publicly well understood.
IAB Europe’s Industry Leadership Council (ILC) was conceived in response to this realisation. It brings together actors across the advertising ecosystem to build a bridge to policy makers for an open and constructive dialogue. On how to bring the industry forward, and how the industry itself can help to advance European economy and society, especially at the dawn of new technologies like generative AI and immersive experiences.
Our closing panel of the day will discuss what is currently being done in the ILC and what else we require to ensure a sustainable future for the industry. The panel comprises key members of the ILC who will share their views on what the ILC is planning and why it is crucial for the whole industry to get involved.
