2022 NAB Show: Must Attend Experiences & Presentations

The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show is taking place this week in Las Vegas and, as always, the focus is on the latest and greatest in broadcasting technology. This year, there is particular interest in Netflix's recent announcement that they are looking to add ads to their experience. While many viewers are up in arms about the possibility of ads on their beloved streaming service, others see it as a natural evolution for Netflix and an opportunity for brands to reach a more engaged audience. Whatever your opinion on the matter, it's sure to be a hot topic at this year's NAB Show!

In addition to the Netflix drama, there is also excitement around the growing trend of connected TV (CTV). With more and more consumers cutting the cord and turning to streaming services for their entertainment, CTV provides an opportunity for advertisers to reach these viewers on their terms. As the industry continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how advertising flexes into this space to create a better experience for viewers, brands and platform publishers alike.

General Topics We're Looking Forward to Hearing About:

• The Future of CTV
• How AI and Video Work Together
• Publisher Opinion on Advertising
• Monetization Tactics
