SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwire) — 04/03/12 — ad:tech San Francisco, the digital marketing industry-s leading conference and trade show, today hosted another installment of its exciting, “speed round” media briefing which highlighted the show-s ten biggest news announcements from exhibitors. Attending companies represent some of the most cutting-edge products and technologies in the advertising technology space, and more than 35 compelling submissions were evaluated by conference organizers to get to the final 10. All ten finalists broke their news in five-minute presentations to a captured audience of ad:tech-s attending press.
In March, ad:tech solicited its San Francisco exhibitors for announcements to be considered for inclusion in the private briefing, which ad:tech arranges with its attending media. Entrants were judged by a panel of ad:tech executives for innovation, diversity, news value and overall impact on the digital marketing industry.
“We had our work cut out for us evaluating submissions for the San Francisco show; all of the submissions were very compelling,” said Mike Flynn, vice president, ad:tech North America. “As always, there is only room for ten finalists. We feel the press will be well served by attending the event, and that each of the companies we-ve selected will be able to make some significant noise with their respective releases.”
