Now, more than ever, ad:tech's expansive global reach connects industry players and contributes to the continued success of digital marketing."

"ad:tech San Francisco will bring together veteran marketers with forward-thinking entrepreneurs to focus on the industry's shifting landscape and disruption," said Ianni. "Attendees will walk away with valuable insights, strategies and solutions that will enable them to explore new channels through which to engage their key audiences."
