GDPR edition! We all survived? I’ll spin up VPN today and have a browse.
I attended the Silicon Alley Golf tournament yesterday, met some great people, thanks to Darren Herman and team for putting on a good show. They have an upcoming tennis event in July so keep an eye out.
I also attended the IAB Content/Native Summit call this week and the DigiDay Plus event.
All round, there appears to be confidence of calmer waters in 2019.
