Navigator: Where Training Meets Conference

Published on March 27, 2023
“What is Navigator about?” I love this question. It means that people know we don’t do events just for the sake of doing events. We are not an event company. Events are a means to an end and should always have a purpose. Base Camp is about pulling the best/brightest together to put things in motion. Crossroads was about championing direct-sold while everyone talks programmatic. So, what is Navigator about?

Navigator is about the next generation of rock stars and giving them the tools to succeed. This industry has a talent issue, and we aren’t investing in them. 85% of people in our recent event/training survey said they had no plans/budget for training. 90% said the budget for attending events was constrained or had to be specifically justified. That isn’t investing in your people.

So we packed Navigator with as much as possible to make the most of everyone’s time and money.
  • We have a day with author and former ad tech rockstar Joanna Bloor. Joanna gives career and management advice like no other. Joanna changed the trajectory of my career. She’ll change yours.
  • We have inspirational speakers like Jess Sibley, CEO of Time, who will share her thoughts on the future of ad-supported publishing.
  • We hit the top topics so your rockstars can hear from some of the best in the business.
  • We made it super interactive. Your rockstars are going to learn to speak up and share their ideas.
  • If you’re a part of the Beeler.Tech community, you’ve already heard about our offer for senior and junior people to bond at the event.
  • You’ll meet some of the best tech/service companies in the space in a non-pitch environment. These companies get us and support our community.
  • We vet who attends…because it matters.
  • Tickets are a third of the cost of other similar events…because this time we can.

So that’s the vision. At a time when the industry needs more people working the problems and creating new opportunities, we’ve stuffed a day full of meaningful conversations and activities so they leave more charged up to tackle 2023.

Think maybe you should join us or send your people? Apply to learn more.

Navigator speaker updates:
  • Erica DeLorenzo, SVP Operations, Bridge will help lead two sessions:  Industry Collaboration for Better Brand & People Safety and Action Steps You Can Take to Support Diverse Organizations.
  • Ari Paparo will share insights on The Innovation Challenge: How to Match Product Velocity with Commercial Readiness.
  • Dave Morgan, Simulmedia, joins to speak about How CTV is Changing Digital Advertising.
  • Alan Chapell will explain How the Top U.S. Privacy Enforcement Priorities Impact Publishers and Platforms in 2023 and Beyond.
