The Questions Shaping This Event
Is the agenda ever really finished? Not a chance. Things shift, new challenges emerge, and that’s exactly why Navigator exists. But here’s a look at the questions that we’ll focus on during our time together in the Big Apple.
📊
What does success actually look like for our industry? Yes, we all know what’s broken—but where are publishers and advertisers seeing real results?
💰
Why hasn’t the money followed consumers to CTV? The audience is there, but the ad dollars are still lagging. What’s stopping the industry from catching up?
🔎
Where will the real privacy lines be drawn? With so much regulatory uncertainty, what’s truly compliant, and how should we all adapt?
🍪
If third-party cookies aren’t dead yet, what’s actually gaining traction? What’s moving beyond the hype, and where should we be placing our bets?
🤖
How do publishers stand out in an AI content world? As AI-generated content floods the internet, how do publishers prove their value and maintain trust?
📈
Is the industry finally moving beyond clicks and viewability? What’s next in measurement, and how do we define real attention and engagement?
💪
How do we shift from industry misery to momentum? We know the challenges, but what steps can we take to productively move forward?
📐
How are publishers really being measured, and what can they do about it? Do publishers know what’s being said about them behind the scenes?
What Is Navigator?
Navigator is a single-day, high-impact experience where the smartest minds in ad tech and publishing come together to tackle the challenges that actually matter. Think of it like the ultimate working session designed for action—just focused conversations, real solutions, and the connections you need to move forward.
Navigator is built for efficiency and immersion. With an accessible price point and a format designed to maximize impact in a single day, Navigator is where publishers, ad tech pros, and industry leaders come together to focus on what’s working—and where we go next. If you’re looking for an event where conversations lead to real, immediate change, Navigator is where you need to be.
Is Navigator the Right Place for You?
Navigator is for the people doing the actual work in ad tech and the business side of publishing. If you’re on the front lines—running ad operations, navigating privacy rules, building data strategies, or just trying to make sure everything doesn’t break—this is for you.
Our goal with Navigator is to bring together senior industry leaders and the up-and-comers who will define what’s next. We encourage experienced professionals to bring their strongest rising talent, making it an opportunity for both strategic discussions and hands-on learning. Sessions are curated for different experience levels—from high-level industry roundtables to tactical, educational breakouts designed to sharpen skills and expand knowledge.
Beeler.Tech Events Made Simple
Your one-stop Beeler.Tech events shop.
BECOME AN EVENT VIP PARTNER
At most events, you’re a logo slapped on a banner, part of a cattle call where sponsors fight for scraps of attention. As a Beeler.Tech event sponsor, you’re not watching from the sidelines. You’re an active voice in the conversations that will shape the future of our industry.
CREATE YOUR EVENTS PACKAGE
Raise your hand if you’re interested in attending more than one Beeler.Tech event this year. These intimate, invite-only experiences sell out fast, and once they’re gone, they’re gone. Tell us you’re interested now, and we’ll work with you to design the events package you need.
