Digiday Town Hall for Ad-Supported Publishers

Publishers always have plenty to talk about, but few forums in which to talk with each other. Not anymore.

On August 22 at 12 p.m. ET, Digiday will host a virtual version of our in-person summits’ popular town hall sessions to offer a private forum for publishers to discuss the state of the media business. In response to feedback from publishers, this virtual town hall will specifically focus on how publishers’ advertising businesses are faring so far in the second half of 2025 and what the outlook is for the rest of the year. The event will be exclusive to publishing employees.

The town hall will allow publishers to come together and compare notes on everything from ad sales trends to programmatic practices, from AI ad products to ad pricing models.

Discussion topics will include:

• Which advertiser categories are — and aren’t — spending
• The ad products, pricing models and RFPs attracting advertiser dollars
• The ad sales outlook for the fourth quarter of 2025

Publishing leaders can apply to attend and a member of our team will reach out if you qualify.
