IAB & MDA Programmatic Training Series
We’re are back in Kuala Lumpur! We are extremely delighted once again to partner with Malaysia Digital Association (MDA) this year! Kicking off this year in KL, we are taking our recent Programmatic and Mobile Training curated by our specialist Committees in collaboration with the MDA.
We’re offering full day training and will be followed by an industry meet and greet so make sure you let your regional offices know. Also, MDA Members get IAB Membership rates to our partnership events as we are one, big, happy family.



Successful Programmatic Marketing (How to Win Friends & Influence People)
Why Attend
You are no stranger to these acronyms: DMP, DSP, SSP, DCO, SEO, SEM …. but you want to know more and adopt a hands-on approach to your own ad tech needs.
Hear from those who have taken the automated ad buying and selling journey and find out how they steered through the digital fog and created blueprints suited to their needs.
MDA & IAB Singapore are collaborating once again this year to bring the experts in the Programmatic field together to share their knowledge with you. This will be followed by our interactive breakout sessions during which you can have all of your questions answered.
