AI is no longer a future bet. It’s a present-day tool reshaping how the advertising industry operates and grows. Marketers and media owners are implementing AI to drive campaign performance, automate workflows, and uncover new strategic value, but not without a few growing pains.

Join Jon Roberts, Chief Innovation Officer at DotDash Meredith, and Caroline Giegerich, VP of AI at IAB, for a candid conversation about the real-world adoption of AI in advertising. They’ll unpack where companies are seeing early wins, what pitfalls to avoid, and how the industry is navigating everything from automation and creative optimization to compliance and internal change management.

We’ll explore:

  • What use cases are gaining momentum
  • How teams are approaching adoption and integration
  • What considerations matter most when applying AI in real-world settings

After the discussion, IAB’s Angelina Eng will offer a quick walkthrough of a practical framework to help assess where AI can deliver the most value.

Whether you’re scaling AI or still circling use cases, this webinar will give you the clarity—and inspiration—you need to move forward.

Register now to get a real-world look at what AI can actually do for your business.

Gaming isn’t just entertainment—it’s where audiences live, engage, and connect. With 84% of U.S. internet users aged 16 to 64 identifying as gamers (GWI, 2024)—and 90-95% of Gen Z and Gen Alpha (Newzoo, 2024)—it’s no surprise that brands are investing in gaming to reach their audiences.

But with more investment flowing into gaming environments, how can advertisers truly measure success? Enter the IAB Gaming Measurement Framework—designed to help publishers, brands, and ad tech partners track performance, it defines gaming ad formats and sets clear benchmarks with ‘must-have’ and ‘nice-to-have’ metrics.

Join us for Play to Win: Measuring Gaming Ad Success, where we’ll break down how this framework was developed, how it can help advertisers level up their campaigns, and what it takes to build a winning strategy in the gaming ecosystem.

No more guesswork—just solid, actionable insights to help brands play smarter.  Ready to press start?
