Programmatic I/O 2027

Programmatic I/O returns to the New York Marriott Marquis, 1535 Broadway, New York, on September 27–28, 2027. AdExchanger announced the dates on its 2026 event page.

What it is

Programmatic I/O is AdExchanger's conference on programmatic and digital advertising, where, in the organiser's words, "brands, agencies, publishers, and platforms compare notes on what’s actually working—and what’s not." The 2026 program ran under the theme "Unleashing Growth Across the Open Web" and covered AI in media decisions and brand discovery, signals replacing identity in targeting, CTV as a performance channel, commerce and retail media data, measurement and accountability, and privacy and governance.
