This year we will be discussing the direct to consumer phenomena, the adoption of security measures to prevent ad fraud, an update on viewability, brand safety and more. We will also provide details on IAB Canada’s advocacy efforts across several policy files including urgent information around PIPEDA amendments, Elections Canada regulation, Cannabis Advertising and Marketing to Kids.

We look forward to providing our cross-Canada community with valuable and informed industry updates from around the world and we guarantee stimulating conversation. Don’t miss it!
