Big Ideas And Best Practices In One Day On Brand Safety
Businesses are rethinking ways to connect with customers and prospects, and we at The 614 Group have reimagined how we can continue to bring our audience of brand safety leaders together. That’s why we’ve launched a series of Live Virtual Brand Safety Summits for 2020. The virtual version of each Summit will be collaborative and interactive, just like our in-person events.
The Live Virtual Summit will feature a mix of keynotes, panel discussions and fireside chats covering the most pressing brand safety issues. Our speaker lineup will feature experts on brand safety, advertising fraud, measurement, contextual advertising, consumer data protection and more.
Join us as we expand the ways our community learns and comes together while advancing the most important brand safety conversations.

The Future of YouTube Brand Suitability: Scale & Engagement
Presented by Pixability
We're entering a new phase of brand safety and suitability in digital video advertising where we no longer have to rely on blunt instruments to block whole categories of content. In this session we'll discuss how agencies, adtech companies and industry leaders are coming together to find ways to use more detailed categorizations of content to deliver video advertising experiences that are not only safe, but drive real scale and engagement for brands.

The News, COVID-19 and Safe Online Discourse
What is the state of marketers' utilization of news and how can we move away from keywords and drill down on sentiment? If a marketer acts on that strategy, what's the next step? What have marketers learned from COVID? One thing seems clear: Knee-jerk blocking hurts marketers and publishers.

Brand Risk and Brand Suitability
Presented by Channel Factory
Some brands are willing to be edgier when it comes to content they'll appear next to, and others are more intentionally reserved. Where is the line? What is the difference between brand safety and brand suitability and to maneuver around it? How many technology partners, what should be in a white list, what analytics should they be reviewing. The head of media investment at GroupM and a publisher and a leading technology company get together for this insightful discussion.
- Jed Hartman, Chief Commercial Officer, Channel Factory
- Susan Schiekofer, Chief Digital Investment Officer, GroupM

The State of Fraud in CTV
Presented by DoubleVerify
As ad spend on CTV increases, so too does the opportunity for fraud in the advertising ecosystem. The impact of fraud can be significant - potentially leading advertisers to see decreased efficiency in their media spend and increased risk to their brand’s reputation.
Attendees will learn about the types of fraud in CTV and how bad actors perpetuate fraud through apps, IP spoofing, and SSAI technology. They will also learn about how fraud might manifest itself in different buying environments. Lastly, and most importantly, they will learn how they can combat CTV fraud and the specific solutions available to them with these emerging threats on the horizon.
From this foundation, panelists will discuss how the buying environment is impacted by the potential of fraud. This module will dive into the intricacies of buying CTV inventory directly from content platforms, intermediaries as well as programmatic platforms. Attendees will learn about the challenges of attaining scale and transparency, and what is being done and should be done to address both.
