DPAA sponsoring digital place-based ad summit at DSE13

January 24, 2013

The Digital Place-based Advertising Association will sponsor an all-day DPb Advertising Summit at Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas on Feb. 26. The fourth annual DPb Advertising Summit will spotlight panels and speakers to help brand marketers and agencies capitalize on opportunities in the rapidly growing and influential digital place-based media space.

The DPb Advertising Summit from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. on Feb. 26 will encompass seven sessions, including a look at effective creative campaigns, breaking through clutter in today's age of digital distractions, digital place-based media metrics, the growth of the digital place-based sector, planning and buying issues and more. Susan Danaher, president and CEO of DPAA, and Bob Martin, founding partner, Bob Martin Media, will serve as moderators.

A luncheon keynote by David Kepron, owner of Retail (r)Evolution LLC, will delve into understanding how recent discoveries in neuroscience and the changing communication of brand stories through social media and emerging digital technologies will influence the way brands connect to their customers — both in and out of shopping places. Kepron will examine how the path to purchase can be enhanced with digital technology.
