Advertising That Works For Everyone, 21 March, 11:15am
Digital advertising has been helping businesses and brands grow for many years, yet the industry itself faced major growing pains in 2017. It is time for us to collectively to set our ambitions higher — higher for consumers, advertisers, and content owners alike. In doing so, we’ll help ensure the internet remains the free, open, pluralistic place it is today and help businesses of all sizes grow.
Join Google’s Sridhar Ramaswamy and Matt Brittin as they explore key areas of progress over the past year and outline our vision and plans for the year ahead, as we work to build an advertising ecosystem that works for everyone.

The Future of Search, 22 March, 4:15pm
Featuring Kevin Mathers, Country Sales Director, Google UK
Image and voice search are becoming more and more integrated into our daily lives.

This panel will discuss the current capabilities of search, which campaigns and activations have worked, which haven’t and what we can expect in the future.
