THE IAB BALTICS MONTHLY WRAP | october

Dear IAB Baltics Community,

What an eventful month October was for IAB Baltics members and friends! We had the opportunity to come together in Vilnius, and our heartfelt thanks go to Delfi for hosting an energetic and enthusiastic digital marketing community. While the Gold Standard was a key topic, we delved into a range of other pertinent subjects. This meeting injected new motivation into our ongoing endeavors.

In Riga, IAB Baltics continued to make its mark, not only by hosting members in the splendid premises of Printful for our monthly meeting but also by presenting AdEx findings at Rigacomm. Kaarel Oja, Head of AdEx Task Force, delivered a presentation to a packed house of eager participants.

The gathering in Tallinn, set against the backdrop of the PocoArt gallery, brought together more than thirty local digital marketing enthusiasts. Let's not forget the diligent efforts of our Responsible Marketing and Education Task Forces.

We are excited to announce that our family is growing, with Mixd and Martailer joining IAB Baltics as new members. These additions enhance our collective strength and diversity, further enriching our community.

These moments of interaction, knowledge sharing, and collaborative spirit define the essence of IAB Baltics. We are grateful to everyone who participated and contributed to making October such a productive and fulfilling month.

Here's to continuing the journey together and creating even more memorable moments
