June 4 in New York City – A Frontline Look at the New Rules of Digital Advertising
As digital advertising enters a new era shaped by AI, privacy enforcement, and the unraveling of traditional identity systems, IAB Tech Lab Summit 2025 will take the industry “Through the Looking Glass” on June 4 at Convene, 1221 Avenue of the Americas, New York City. This one-day event brings together technology, product, and policy leaders to explore the open standards and technical foundations critical to the future of digital media.
“The way things have worked for the past twenty-five years is not how they will work for the next twenty-five. We are already operating in a new normal, and not just in advertising. The world has changed,” said Anthony Katsur, CEO, IAB Tech Lab. “Privacy is real, advertising signals are disappearing, streaming TV continues on its phenomenal growth curve, and AI is generating both code and content. This summit is about rethinking what it takes to make digital advertising take the next leap — technically, commercially, and sustainably.”
