That’s a Wrap! Check Out the Event Highlights & Videos From Interact 2023

On 23rd-24th May we hosted our annual flagship event Interact in Madrid, where we brought leaders from across the digital advertising and marketing ecosystem together to discuss and debate the hottest industry topics of the moment.  

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 ‘Innovation, Sustainability & Growth’. 

Check out the highlights video here and event images here. 

We unpacked a wide variety of topics as we looked to help the digital advertising industry become privacy first, tackle sustainability, and drive growth through innovation. From the latest ad spend figures, Retail Media, CTV, the attention economy, and trust, to premium publisher’s advertising models, sustainability, policy and more no stone was left unturned as we uncovered everything essential in our industry today.

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 240 people joining over the two days, we are delighted to call it a great success.
