Announcements & Introductions (11:00am-11:15am ET)

Interactive Member Discussion: AI Slop: The Next Hidden Quality Threat in Programmatic Media (11:15am-11:30am ET)

AI Slop—low-value, mass-produced AI-generated content built for monetization—is emerging as a new source of waste in digital advertising. New ANA Benchmark data shows it already accounts for up to ~2% of open web spend, performing deceptively well on traditional KPIs like viewability and CPM. In this brief talk, Scott Cunningham will outline what AI Slop is, why it’s difficult to detect, and how advertisers can identify and control exposure before it scales further.

Session 2: Briefing Creators to Win in the AI Answer Economy (12:15pm-1:00pm ET) 

This session will dive into creator strategy in the age of AI-powered search, where authority, specificity, and consistency drive AI-generated answer recommendations. Learn how to shift from selecting creators based on their audience to identifying the key consumer questions your brand needs to own and partnering with creators who answer them with credibility. Hear how to brief creators based on real customer queries, empower them to respond in their authentic voice, and build a scalable content ecosystem designed for AI citation and recommendation. Start building creator-powered AI search infrastructure and position your brand to lead the next era of consideration before your competitors catch up.
