Your Year in Ad Tech, Mapped Out.

In 2027, AdExchanger is bringing the people who build, buy, and sell modern advertising together across three defining events — CTV World, AdExchanger Connect (previously Programmatic AI), and AdExchanger Next (previously Programmatic I/O). From the boardroom conversations shaping where TV is headed, to the hands-on workshops turning AI and agentic strategy into a workflow you can run immediately, to the senior-leader debates setting next year's agenda — this is where the entire ecosystem shows up, three times a year, to do business.

Register for one event or stack your pass across all three and save. The more you're in the room, the more deals, relationships, and insight you walk away with. 

CTV World | March 30-31, The Times Center NYC

The TV economy doesn't live in silos anymore — content, tech, and ad sales all sit in the same room now. CTV World brings together the senior decision-makers building platforms, controlling budgets, and setting the agenda for where television is actually headed, across two focused days.

Who should attend: Streaming and CTV buyers, brand marketers, network and platform executives, publishers, and anyone with budget authority over the future of TV advertising.

Why Attend: This is the only room where the full TV economy — programmers, platforms, and ad buyers — sits together at the executive level. Curated to 500+ senior leaders, not a mass-market crowd.

AdExchanger Connect | May 18-19, Park MGM, Las Vegas

Previously Programmatic AI.

The Here and Now. Where ad tech's practitioners stop theorizing and start operating. Connect is the hands-on event for agentic buying, campaign automation, and AI-managed workflows — built so you leave with something you can actually run, not just a new set of ideas.

Who should attend: Operators, media planners and buyers, agency leads, creator-media operators, AI strategists, measurement architects, and publisher teams — practitioner up through CMO/VP level. A locked 60/40 buy/sell ratio keeps the room operator-heavy.

Why Attend: Everyone else makes you pick a lane — AI, creator media, or measurement. Connect puts all three in the same buy-side/sell-side room, with tech demos and workshops built for immediate execution.

AdExchanger Next | September 27-28, Marriott Marquis NYC

Previously Programmatic I/O.

The Next and Coming. Madison Ave meets ad tech. Next is where senior leaders pressure-test strategy against their peers before they bet next year's budget — skipping the futurism for what's actually working right now, straight from brands, agencies, publishers, and platforms.

Who should attend: C-suite and senior leadership (CMO, CTO, CDO, Chief AI Officer), media planners and buyers, finance and investment decision-makers, brand/agency/publisher leads, and emerging-tech and vertical specialists (healthcare, auto, sports).

The differentiator: This is the flagship, big-picture event of the three — less workflow, more point of view. You leave knowing where the industry's headed, not just what to do on Monday.
