Social Media Was Buzzing

There was a great buzz on social media whilst Programmatic Pioneers Summit was taking place. Here’s a look at some of our favourite posts on LinkedIn:

Patrick Anderson, Client Partner, Azerion UK - “What an amazing time we had at Programmatic Pioneers Summit. Hosted at the stunning The Hurlingham Club, Putney surrounded by pristine grass tennis courts and basking in rare UK sunshine! In particular I saw a really interesting talk on AI, Machine learning and first party data, topics I'm personally very interested in. A huge shout out to WBR for organising such another great event! Looking forward to next year!”

Robert Kelly, Senior Consultant Country Manager, NinaData - “Programmatic Pioneers Summit thank you for a great conference last week, and the opportunity to meet with so many well informed contacts and colleagues. It was great to see so much interest in keyword powered contextual targeting, and looking at how programmatic will change in the era of cookie deprecation.”

We even had a social competition running throughout the course of the conference, with the chance to win some amazing prizes!
