Proving CTV Performance Under CFO Scrutiny

CTV has become a core performance channel, but measurement hasn’t kept pace with rising scrutiny from executives and finance teams. Today, marketers are expected to prove incremental revenue impact, not just impressions, reach, or platform-reported ROAS, and defend results in budget conversations. In this panel discussion, leaders from PebblePost and AdExchanger will examine why traditional attribution falls short in a fragmented CTV landscape and why incrementality is emerging as the new standard for measuring real business impact. Attendees will learn how to separate attribution from causality, validate incremental lift, and align CTV reporting with finance-ready outcomes that withstand CFO scrutiny.

Beyond the Roadmap: What Agencies That Ship AI Actually Do Differently

AI Digital Labs surveyed independent agencies and brand-side teams on AI adoption — not aspirations, not intentions, but operational reality. The results were blunt: 66% are stuck in experimentation purgatory. More than half can’t articulate a differentiated AI story. Almost none have production-grade tools built around their actual workflows, yet nearly half say that’s the support they need most. So what separates the 16% that have AI embedded across teams with KPIs from everyone else? And what does it actually look like when an agency stops planning and starts shipping? This session unpacks the data, then shows you the receipts. We’ll walk through the key findings from our AI Adoption Survey and white paper series — the real barriers (skills and time, not budget), the confidence gap, the “Shadow AI” problem — and then go live inside the AI Digital Labs Incubator. You’ll see real tools, built in days from real client pain points, running in production right now — including AI-powered consumer insights, brand visibility across AI search engines, and diagnostic site audits. Plus, a moderated panel with client partners sharing what changed, what surprised them, and what they’d build next.

How Publishers Can Stay in Control and Boost Profitability With AI-Powered Ad Selling

AI is already reshaping how media is bought, optimized, and measured, but too often publishers are watching the value flow elsewhere. In this webinar, join AdButler and AdExchanger as we explore how publishers can stay in control and boost profitability by putting AI to work across the ad selling lifecycle. We'll highlight where AI can actually drive revenue, from pricing and forecasting to trafficking, optimization, and demand management. This webinar will also shine the spotlight on what publishers need to do to ensure these systems work for their business—not for everyone else in the supply chain.
