NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- From September 15-17, leading industry thinkers from around the world will come together for IAB Tech Lab: REBOOT 2020. The three-day virtual summit is set to review the progress the industry has made this year, invite collaborative problem-solving, and inspire innovative strategies for designing a stronger, more sustainable, and flexible future.

"2020 has already been a year of historic changes. The challenge now is to ensure the changes lead to a better, more sustainable media industry. The issues we're discussing — privacy, addressability, measurement, loss of third-party cookies, and more — are critical to advertising's effectiveness for marketers and publishers," said Dennis Buchheim, President, IAB Tech Lab. "As a global organization, IAB Tech Lab is uniquely able to provide a marketplace where the entire advertising ecosystem can come together to collaborate in defining tangible solutions for the future of digital advertising."

Day One of the conference will focus on privacy-centric addressability and industry accountability, followed by Day Two on brand safety and preventing ad fraud. Day Three will focus on the rise of Connected TV (CTV) and podcasting as well as the challenges for measurement across an ever-growing mix of channels.

Re-architecting for Privacy-centric Addressability
