IAB Connect 2017 Digital Convergence – Redefining Advertising

IAB Connect 2017 

Our theme for 2017 was ‘Digital Convergence – Redefining Advertising’. With total digital adspend now at a record high of €445m, reflecting year-on-year growth of 31% for 2016, and mobile adspend reaching €231m for the year ended 2016, Connect looked to address issues around this growth. Authenticity and quality content were two of the big themes emerging from the event, creating relevant, authentic content and delivering to your target audience in the right way, at the right time.

Suzanne McElligott, CEO, IAB. shared the topline results from the latest IAB Pwc Adspend report. There were also updates from IAB globally in terms of the Coalition for Better Ads and Pan European Viewable Impressions Initiative and the upcoming GDPR / ePrivacy Regulation
