Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) Holds Forum and Track at SES New York 2011

The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) has programmed a forum and track at SES New York 2011. The IAB is comprised of more than 500 leading media and technology companies who are responsible for selling 86 percent of online advertising in the United States.

“There are so many critical changes taking place in the advertising industry that it’s hard to keep up,” Matt McGowan, Managing Director of Americas for Incisive Media, said in a press release. “The (IAB’s) specialized networks and exchanges track will save anyone working in this arena a lot of time and effort, and the forum is perfect for local advertising professionals.”

Jay Sears, General Manager of ContextWeb and co-chair of the IAB Networks and Exchanges Committee, added, “We’re particularly interested in participating in SES New York at this juncture of our committee because we will only be days away from certification against the new IAB Quality Assurance Guidelines. It will give us a great opportunity to hear from our constituents in the ad networks and exchanges community.”
