Dapper’s Acclaimed Fixing Advertising Panel Series Comes to Los Angeles

Co-hosted by the Rubicon Project, Dapper’s panel series makes its LA debut to investigate the new performance display landscape powered by real-time bidding, dynamic creative and consumer data to understand user intent – and unearth new opportunities for publishers, agencies and advertisers

SAN FRANCISCO – Dapper, a pioneer in transforming display advertising into a predictable and scalable performance marketing channel, announced that it will bring its acclaimed Fixing Advertising series to Los Angeles on July 19. Co-hosted by the Rubicon Project, Fixing Advertising Los Angeles will explore the tremendous changes and opportunities in display advertising today as innovations in user data, intelligent media buying, and dynamic creative drive new efficiencies and performance gains – at a remarkable scale. The panel will also take a deep dive into the ways that the new data-driven ecosystem is affecting publishers, including insights into which data is owned by publishers, how well they are represented by supply-side platforms and whether or not they are capturing enough of the value chain.

Fixing Advertising Los Angeles will be moderated by Yahoo! SmartAds General Manager, Peter Kim and features Amy Lehman of United Online; Frank Addante of the Rubicon Project; Zack Coelius of Triggit; Michael Baker of DataXu; and, Jon Aizen of Dapper. The event kicks off at 7:00 p.m. PDT on Monday, July 19 at the Rubicon Project Headquarters in Los Angeles, located at 1925 S. Bundy Drive, Los Angeles, CA. Registration is open to all, but space is limited and all Fixing Advertising panels have sold out to date. More information and a registration form are available at www.fixingadvertising.com.

“New ways to use data and technology are driving huge performance gains in display today,” said James Beriker, CEO of Dapper. “The tools and approaches that are being pioneered right now are the ones that will deliver long-terms gains in other channels, including social, mobile and video. Every performance marketer should be closely watching – and applying – the developments in this space. We’re very pleased to bring together a stellar group of speakers to provide a catalyst for discussion and exploration, as well as provide practical guidance to help advertisers, agencies and publishers.”
