Registration is now open for the 2026 IAB Public Policy & Legal Summit.
Join leaders from advertising, media, technology, and government for this flagship one-day program focused on the legal, regulatory, and policy issues shaping the future of digital advertising.
This must-attend summit brings together top industry executives, legal experts, policymakers, and regulators to tackle the most urgent challenges facing the ecosystem today.
New for 2026: Registration is free, making it easier than ever to participate in this critical industry conversation.
What to Expect:
Attendees will hear from regulators, industry legal and policy leaders, and leading law firms and solution providers through expert-led panels and breakout sessions covering topics such as:
- Legislative developments in Washington, D.C., including proposals for a federal privacy law and children’s privacy legislation impacting digital advertising
- State-level privacy and AI legislation emerging across the U.S.
- AI data governance, including legal, organizational, and operational challenges on both the buy-side and sell-side
- Practical approaches to navigating state privacy compliance requirements
- Privacy compliance considerations in transactions involving data marketplaces
- The use of U.S. consumer privacy signals—GPP, GPC, RDP/LDU/LDP, DNT, LMT, and USP—and their impact on digital advertising
- Potential changes to Europe’s privacy landscape, including proposed GDPR amendments and the EU AI Act
- Risk mitigation strategies related to VPPA, CIPA, and other state wiretapping lawsuits
The program will also feature two keynote sessions from leading policymakers and enforcement officials.
The day includes ample networking opportunities with industry stakeholders, major brands, agencies, technology companies, and policymakers—just steps from the White House during cherry blossom season in Washington, D.C.
More details — including agenda, speakers, and registration — will be announced soon.
This event is open to digital advertising, legal, and public policy professionals, both IAB members and non-members. IAB reserves the right to cancel registrations that do not meet these criteria.
