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.
