What's New with Summit at Stanford on 6/1:
The Era of Banner Ads may be fading, but the Gold Rush to online advertising is far from over. New winners in this race emerge daily, and we're thrilled to welcome innovators to our stage at Summit at Stanford 2009 for the conversation: "Is the Internet optimizing Madison Avenue out of business—or enabling a revolution?"
Founding chairman of the Interactive Advertising Bureau and Archer advisory-group founder Rich LeFurgy will moderate. Quantcast CEO Konrad Feldman, the Rubicon Project CEO Frank Addante, Omniture CEO Josh James, and OMD's Chief Digital Officer Jon Raj will offer high-level viewpoints.
How are ad buyers of Madison Avenue transforming their patterns for the online audience? Which digital tools will enable massive returns?
