      Join leaders from advertising, media, technology, and government for the 2026 IAB Public Policy & Legal Summit. This flagship one-day program brings together top industry, legal, and policy professionals to tackle the most urgent legal, regulatory, and technical challenges shaping the digital advertising industry.

      Attendees can expect panels and breakouts consisting of regulators, industry legal and policy leaders, and preeminent law firms and vendors on topics such as:

      • Legislative developments in Washington, D.C., including proposals for a federal privacy law and children’s privacy bills, which could impact the digital advertising industry
      • Legislative developments around privacy and AI in statehouses across the country
      • AI data governance, including legal, organizational, and operational challenges when leveraging AI on the buy-side and sell-side
      • How to deploy practical solutions to state privacy compliance challenges
      • Privacy compliance issues that are raised in negotiating 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 the digital advertising
      • How the privacy landscape in Europe may change with the proposed amendment to the GDPR and the EU AI Act
      • Strategies to address risks raised by VPPA, CIPA, and other state wiretapping lawsuits

      We also plan two keynotes from leading policymakers and enforcers.

      The day will include networking opportunities with industry stakeholders, major brands, agencies, technology companies, and policymakers all steps from the White House during cherry-blossom season in the nation’s capital.

      More details — including agenda, speakers, and registration — will be announced soon.
