The DPP's 2024 in review

The essential guide to the DPP in 2024:

"He sees you when you are sleeping and he knows when you are awake..." — sadly, not everyone is as benevolent as Santa Claus, so in the latest edition of the DPP podcast we heard about how media companies can focus on "personalisation at scale without being creepy"! So if you need some extra listening over the Christmas period, enjoy this or other episodes from the back catalogue - we've had insights from more than 40 media industry leaders over the last 12 months.

Also in this, our final newsletter of 2024, we've rounded up photos and highlights from the incredibly diverse body of events and insights we've produced over the last year.

Happy Holidays!

The DPP has settled into a cadence of producing three major two-day events bringing together media organisations and suppliers on two continents. Here’s some of the highlights from the March 2024 European Broadcaster Summit in Munich, the Media Supply Festival from New York in May, and most recently the DPP Leaders’ Briefing 2024 in London in November.

We also put on the third edition of the DPP Espresso Summit ahead of the IBC conference in Amsterdam.
