Programmatic AI 2026

Programmatic AI was launched by AdExchanger as a dedicated conference focused on how artificial intelligence and automation are changing advertising infrastructure and media buying.

The event covered AI and automation across planning, buying, optimization, measurement, and infrastructure.

• AI-driven planning
• automated media buying
• campaign optimization
• measurement
• data systems
• programmatic infrastructure
• advertiser workflows
• publisher technology

Programmatic DOOH platforms increasingly use automated bidding, audience modeling, dynamic creative, optimization, forecasting, and cross-channel planning, all areas being affected by AI.

Relevant for ad-tech and DOOH teams building or using automated buying infrastructure.

• DSPs
• SSPs
• ad-tech teams
• agencies
• programmatic buyers
• DOOH platforms
• publishers
• advertisers

Programmatic AI 2026 is kept as an industry reference because past events still show which organizations, topics and markets are shaping OOH conversations. Use the record to identify recurring event series, organizer focus and likely themes for the next edition.

The listed focus areas include AI-driven planning, automated media buying, campaign optimization, measurement, and data systems. For advertisers and media owners, those topics are most useful when they connect to specific follow-up actions such as inventory sourcing, measurement standards, creative production, programmatic activation or partner evaluation.

The audience fit is strongest for DSPs, SSPs, ad-tech teams, and agencies. If that does not describe the people you need to meet, confirm speaker lists, attendee roles, sponsor categories and networking formats before committing travel budget.

• Confirm whether the agenda covers buying, selling, measurement, creative, technology or regulation.
• Check whether the attendee mix includes the operators, agencies, advertisers or platforms you need.
• Compare the event date with campaign planning cycles, procurement deadlines and major market dates.
• Verify registration status, cancellation rules, travel assumptions and whether remote access is available.
