Brand marketers will sit on a panel to discuss why they use OOH and how it can boost branding and revenue for start-ups. Panelists include Will Flaherty with Ro, a tech healthcare startup; Terri Rockovich with Outdoor Voices, an athleisure fashion line; and Sharon Sperber with Eaze, an online marketplace for cannabis delivery.
A series of workshops proposed and planned by experts in marketing, tech, and OOH will follow four tracks: business insights, data, analytics, and thought leadership.
Shelley Zalis, CEO of The Female Quotient, will bring her Girls’ Lounge to the conference, which offers a pop-up experience to activate inclusivity and equality. Known for its presence at Cannes Lions and Advertising Week, The Girls’ Lounge will offer insights from female CEOs, including OAAA’s Nancy Fletcher.
Fletcher commented, “This year we will honor all that the OOH and advertising communities have achieved and continue to move forward, including advancements in inclusivity, innovation, and inventive creativity.”
Top OOH leaders will be recognized with presentation of the OOH Industry Awards, and the best of the best in OOH creativity and design will be celebrated at the 2019 OBIE Awards.
Networking events will bring together friends and colleagues to celebrate OOH’s relevancy, success, and value in today’s advertising marketplace while exhibitors demonstrate the latest in OOH innovation and services in an expansive expo.
This OOH all-star event will take place at the ARIA Las Vegas, described in Popular Mechanics as possibly “the most technologically advanced hotel ever built.” Learn more about the ARIA.
