Who attends Publisher Forum?

AdMonsters Publisher Forums are designed specifically for digital strategists, data scientists, revenue, operations & technology leaders at online publishers, content creators and mobile application developers. AdMonsters reviews and approves each individual participant to ensure a conversation amongst a community of senior peers in digital media.

How many people will be attending the Publisher Forum? Are there international attendees?

Publisher Forum is a small event. At max, we allow 200 attendees (publishers + sponsors). Attendees are typically 95% from the United States and Canada, 5% from Europe. However, for this event, we expect all attendees will be from the United States. For all international attendees and sponsors, we will engage in personal conversations about quarantine requirements and testing protocols. 

What are AdMonsters event safety protocols? 

The health and safety of our conference attendees, employees, partners, and event staff is our number one priority.

• Masks will be provided for any attendee who wants one – unvaccinated attendees must wear masks indoors during the conference. 
• All rooms and seating environments will be configured for social distancing.
• Sanitization stations will be on-site in all session rooms and meal functions. The CDC also recommends frequent hand-washing. We encourage attendees to refrain from handshaking to mitigate risks.
• We will have thermometers available for anyone who may need to check their body temperature. Please visit the AdMonsters Info Desk to pick one up, or call down to the front hotel desk to receive one delivered to your room. If any attendees is unwell and requires medical assistance, we will direct off-site to the appropriate medical resource.
• The Grand Hyatt Vail is following recommendations in the U.S. EPA’s Emerging Pathogen Policy regarding the use of cleaning disinfectants effective against COVID-19. We have requested additional cleanings of our meeting room facilities, including door handles, elevator buttons, light switches, etc.
• There will be on-site information about how to keep yourself healthy at the event.
• There will be frequent reminders that hands should be washed often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
• For your safety and the safety of all participants, please do not attend Publisher Forum if you feel ill.

What should I expect at the Publisher Forum?

Most sessions are open to attendees only, except for Sponsor Workshops, Panels, and Networking Sessions.
The Publisher Forum conference takes place over three days, beginning with a cocktail reception and dinner on Sunday evening and ending at 1:00 PM Wednesday. The agenda includes:

• 2-3 keynotes by industry visionaries
• Interactive sessions led by industry leaders who are also part of the AdMonsters community
• Breakouts covering a wide variety of focused revenue, data and ad-ops relevant topics

The 30-60 minute attendee sessions include presentations, round-table discussions and case studies on a wide variety of relevant topics such as: yield management, first party auctions, ad serving technology, inventory management, organizational structure, data science, business process automation, operations policies, rich/streaming media and more.

Why should I register early?

Two reasons:

1. The price for Publisher Forums goes up as we get closer to the event date
2. We always sell out since we limit the number of attendees to keep the conversations open and flowing
