Randall Rothenberg, Terence Kawaja, Jeff Jarvis to speak at PubMatic’s 3rd Annual Premium Publisher Conference in New York City on October 7th

PALO ALTO, Calif. – PubMatic, which provides online publishers — including the majority of the comScore Top 10 — with the technology and services to significantly increase revenue and better manage their advertising inventory, announced details of its 3rd annual premium publisher conference, Ad Revenue 2010 (http://www.AdRevenueConference.com). The conference, which has sold out for the past two years, will be held at The Times Center in New York City on October 7th. The conference will bring together 400 of the online advertising industry’s most recognized thought leaders to discuss how the online advertising ecosystem is, for the first time in a decade, becoming a seller’s market where publishers have the advantage over advertisers.

“Publishers are extremely well positioned to take full advantage of the demand for audience based online advertising, whether it is happening via real-time bidding (RTB), or whether they are selling that audience directly with premium CPMs,” said Rajeev Goel, Co-Founder and CEO of PubMatic. “The challenge for the publisher is putting the right strategic and operational plans in place, and that can only happen with a strong understanding of the opportunities the exist for them – and that is the education Ad Revenue 2010 will provide.”
