The 614 Group is committed to creating conversations that are actionable across both the buy and sell-side.

"I couldn't be more excited than to be coming back to London to host Brand Safety Applied as the next evolution of the Brand Safety Series. When The 614 Group first launched this series, we were explaining what the issues around brand safety were. Today, we can dive even deeper into use cases and concepts," said Rob Rasko, CEO of The 614 Group. "The Summit will also focus on the most pressing issues of the day-- specifically GDPR compliance and fighting ad fraud. Our programs are continuously in lockstep with the evolution of the online advertising industry."


In concert with the Brand Safety Applied focus, the agenda will feature discussions covering Artificial Intelligence, Navigating The Implications of GDPR, Making Digital Advertising Work for Healthcare, an announcement regarding the EU markets and TAG, and a look into the past, present, and future of brand safety, with a discussion led by and created for advertisers.
