The Summit (www.videoeverywherecanada.com) will again be held at Cineplex’s spectacular venue- The Rec Room. This state-of-the-art entertainment and conference facility will host an agenda covering important issues and developments in the video everywhere ecosystem, including programmatic, multi-screen engagement, mobile/location data, the latest in DOOH advertising and case studies illustrating out-of-home’s (OOH) impact on consumer behavior.
The event is targeted to executives representing brands, agencies, the OOH industry, ad tech, mobile/location companies, data firms and others from the full spectrum of multi-screen advertising.
Stuart Garvie, CEO of GroupM Canada, will headline an all-star lineup of agency and brand executives.
Barry Frey, DPAA President & CEO, said, “The overwhelmingly positive response to last year’s inaugural Video Everywhere Canada Summit made it clear to us that there was strong interest in making this an annual event. It also demonstrated that the Canadian OOH market is vibrant and full of innovation. We eagerly look forward to another day of informative, thought-provoking discussion on May 29.”
Last year’s Video Everywhere Canada Summit attracted 320 attendees, a number expected to be surpassed at this year’s event. A limited number of sponsorships and exhibit spaces are still available from DPAA.
