Interact 2022 - That’s a Wrap!

On 25th and 26th May 2022, IAB Europe hosted its flagship annual event in Madrid!

We finally got the chance to bring leaders from across the digital advertising and marketing ecosystem together! Thanks to the support of our sponsors and media partners, and the wonderful team at IAB Spain, we enjoyed two days of keynote speeches, panel discussions and networking under the central theme of ‘Driving the Next Decade’. 

Check out the highlights video here. 

We unpacked a whole host of topics in an attempt to drive the digital advertising ecosystem forward. From the attention economy, CTV, and retail media, through to premium publisher’s advertising models, sustainability, and more.

Thanks so much to everyone who joined us and thank you to all of the amazing speakers who came together from across Europe and beyond to share their insights and expertise. With over 275 people joining over the two days, we are delighted to call it a great success.
