• How to win the subscription wars (Salon 1)
  Moderator: Neil Katz, Global Head of Content and Engagement, The Weather Company
  The first subscription was more than 400 years ago...to a dictionary.  In 2020 its back with a vengeance. With everything from toothbrushes to underwear (not to mention the entire TV dial) going subscription, how will you stand out and scale up? Join our 30 min bootcamp to find out.  PS: We promise no recurring fees.
   
• Cookie purges, antitrust investigations, privacy legislation and more  (Salon 2 and 3 - General Session Room)
  Moderators: Jason Kint, CEO, and Chris Pedigo, SVP, Government Affairs – DCN
  This conversation will include changes to how tracking cookies are being disrupted by browsers and regulators, how regulators are investigating big tech and what changes they might force on Google and Facebook, and what issues are next on the horizon. Will any of these create opportunities for publishers?
   
• Direct and distributed video programming (Hong Kong Room)
  Moderator: Christy Tanner, EVP & GM, CBS News Digital, CBS Interactive
  Publishers and advertisers are running to catch up with audiences that have migrated to streaming video in droves.
