Harnessing the Power of Programmatic (Half Day)

What You Need to Know to Capitalize on Programmatic’s Potential
(Half Day Workshop)

Are you among the marketers not fully leveraging the benefits of the growing area of programmatic?  During this highly interactive workshop, you will overcome hurdles as we demystify how programmatic works and help you develop a roadmap that will allow you to make programmatic work for your organization.
