A flagship gathering for global AdTech leaders to explore the future of self-serve, automation, and AI in advertising.
NEW YORK CITY, NY. – JUNE 25, 2025 – DanAds│Summit 25, returns to New York City for the fourth time on October 15, 2025, bringing together 150+ global AdTech leaders, publishers, and innovators to shape the future of advertising. Under this year’s bold theme – “Lead the Shift” – the Summit calls on industry decision-makers to take charge in an era of rapid transformation driven by automation, AI, and data decentralization.
As the original home of the DanAds Summit series, NYC has served as the launchpad for bold conversations and forward-thinking strategies around self-serve infrastructure, privacy-safe monetization, and advertising automation. Following a highly successful European edition in Stockholm earlier this year, the Summit now returns to its flagship location, building on years of global momentum.
“New York is where the DanAds Summit began, and each return here marks a new chapter in AdTech’s evolution,” said Istvan Beres, CEO & Co-founder of DanAds. “With ‘Lead the Shift,’ we’re challenging the industry to move from talk to transformation – to create tools and systems that empower everyone in the ecosystem.”
The Summit will open with a fireside chat between Rob Beeler and Dan Rayburn, offering a one-on-one conversation that sets the tone for the day. As one of the most respected voices in streaming and digital media, Rayburn will share his perspective on how technology, data, and evolving viewer behavior are reshaping the advertising landscape. Beeler, founder of Beeler.Tech and the Summit’s moderator, will guide this engaging session – as well as facilitate expert panels throughout the day – covering topics such as CTV and OTT monetization, AI-driven personalization, first-party data strategies, and the business impact of self-serve automation.
“This isn’t just a gathering – it’s a leadership platform,” said Peo Persson, CCO & Co-founder of DanAds. “This fourth NYC edition proves how far the conversation around self-serve and automation has come. Today, these aren’t emerging trends – they’re business-critical tools.”
“The market is shifting fast – and smart organizations are shifting with it,” added Marie-Lou Penin, Head of Marketing. “‘Lead the Shift’ is a call to action: to innovate decisively, to share knowledge, and to shape a future that works better for publishers, advertisers, and users alike.”
Major industry players are already confirmed to attend, including Paramount, Roku, Amazon, Warner Bros., La Presse, Beeswax, and BrandMetrics. The Summit will conclude with a curated awards ceremony, recognizing excellence in platform innovation, user experience, and thought leadership.
