Tags: Meet the people behind Openads at the first Online Advertising Meetups in London and Amsterdam.
We want Openads publishers to grow and be as successful as possible. We are participating in two informal events in September to encourage people with an interest in Online Advertising to get together and learn from one another.
Openads publishers live all over the world and we want to encourage you to set up Online Advertising meetups in your city too. Make sure you tell us about them, we’d love to promote them on the Openads website.
What is it?
Meetups for anyone involved or interested in Online Advertising.
Do I need an invite?
Everyone is invited. Why not invite a friend along too.
What’s in it for me?
Meet and mingle with other publishers, advertisers, networks and technologists that share your same interest in online advertising.
How can I get involved?
If you live in London or Amsterdam then come along. If not, then why not start a meetup in your city?
When and Where?
There are two events planned for September where you can meet some of the faces behind Openads.
If you’re in London on Friday 14th September morning between 10:00 to 12:00 come along and hang at Caffe Nero on 213 – 215 Tottenham Court Rd (1st fl @ Paperchase)
Amsterdam - Friday 14th September

Hi Jonathan,
How about starting up a meetup group for New York… Meetup is NY based after all!
Here are some existing ones which sound interesting:
- New York Online Advertising and Marketing Group
- Advertising 2.0 (Web2NewYork)
If they don’t sound right you could always start a new one. If you do then make sure to tell us… perhaps we can come along sometime.
cheers, Oliver

I went to go start a new meetup group on meetup.com, but I suddenly realized half-way through the registration process that it costs $12/mo, at least.
I was going to start an Open Source Advertising NY group so we could discuss various open source advertising platforms and such, including OpenAds.
Any suggestions for a place to start a meetup that’s free? Thanks Oliver.

I’ve got prior commitments (taxi service for my mother) and won’t be in London until 12, so I won’t be able to get into town until 1pm. I wonder if its worth me still heading down ?
Hope the day goes well.

Met with Jennifer Langdon and some of the team this morning in London. Very impressed by their enthusiasm and strategic direction. Whilst their office was only over the road, the fact that a call was made to a specific engineer to pop over to talk in more detail about one of my questions was and example of how this company will go places.
WIth an aggressive enhancement road map to include features such as integration with 3rd party segementation services like Revenue Science, I’ll definately be considering switching from DFP to OpenAds. Clearly convincing the ad sales houses and agencies that they’re significant player and increasing name recognition is another challenge.
Thanks again.
