Some advertisers and research providers also attend. Attendance generally ranges from 125-145 annually.
What’s the focus of the IAB Canada Metrics Conference?
The IAB Canada Metrics conference is a kick-off conference that marks the 2016 release of the annually updated CMUST – Canadian Media Usage Trending Report. CMUST is commissioned by IAB Canada and is authored and presented by Rob Young, Founder & Sr. VP of media agency PHD. CMUST is without parallel, the most comprehensive available study of the Canadian legacy and digital media usage landscape and is based on the audience currencies of record for each major medium in Canada.
In addition to the CMUST results, three Canadian research/analytics presentations will be unveiled. That’s where you come in! Our panel of judges, drawn from both agencies and publishers, selects the three best white paper proposals we receive from IAB Canada members, in answer to this Call for Speakers.
