Join us at the Digiday Publishing Summit from March 24-26 in Vail
One-third of Internet users are “very or somewhat likely” to download ad blockers in the next three months, according to a survey by Digital Content Next. Enter Digiday’s one-day explainer event, WTF Ad Blocking, on Jan. 14.
WTF Ad Blocking will tell you everything you need to know about the practice of blocking ads and strategies for the future.
Taking place at Convene @ 810 Seventh Avenue in New York City, WTF Ad Blocking will cover the basics, from the definition of ad-blocking and their associated costs to publishers, but also examine the behavior behind it.
Sessions include:
