WELCOME

Day Two Welcome by Lou Mastria, CEO, DAA

Welcome to Day 2 of our 2026 Summit with a note of recognition as we start our second day.

That's been true since the program's start and in practice here in the US and around the globe. Our sole focus: We help brands tell their ad privacy story.

Global Perspectives on the Interaction between AdChoices & Privacy Laws
