Hiya,
I'm looking for conferences in 2018 that have focus on native advertising/ ad technology. Location wise, Europe or America preferably. If you have any recommendations, please send them my way! Also, does anyone know of start-up opportunities? For example, conferences that give start-ups a chance to showcase what they've developed and network with others, I've heard some places even offer 'challenges' with prizes for winners.
I appreciate any thoughts you guys have,
thanks 
Hi colston,
Hopefully this will help for a bit ...https://www.marketingterms.com/conferences/
Thank you very much olavivo 
Hey,
Are you looking for conference where you can showcase your product to investors or a conference where you can showcase it to potential customers?
If it's the second, could you give a little bit of info about who your customers might be? Affiliates, small marketing consultants, big brands, Facebook maybe, etc.
That will help with the advice, since I know a few conferences around Europe that could fit either.
Over saturation?
Oh for a start-up opportunity check Web Summit. They are founded in Ireland, but for couple of last years took place also in Lisbon, and it's happening right now - great event!
Oh, I also merged the 2 threads into one, didn't notice them before.
Thank you for your reply manu, I am looking for a conferences where I can showcase my product to potential customers who would be mostly native advertisers, affiliate marketers, media buyers.
Thanks
I've applied to WebSummit and have been told someone will be in touch with me soon. It looks great and i'm looking forward to hearing from them. I've also sent an email over to ad:tech so waiting on hearing from them too. I'm going to have a look into mobile world congress and dmexco, thank you for the recommendations.
