The Out-of-Home Marketing Association of Canada is hosting ACTIVATE, an OOH conference on Wednesday October 28, 2015, at the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto.

ACTIVATE is a half-day conference that promises to inspire and challenge advertisers and agencies to re-think OOH advertising and the role it can play in connecting brands with consumers in creative and engaging ways.

Industry leaders will provide their perspective on the evolution of the OOH space as digital and emerging technologies transform OOH into a dynamic medium with the ability to create interactive and immersive experiences.

Marketers and agencies will discuss how OOH can deliver relevant and emotional engagement in a multi-channel universe by sharing campaign strategies, insights and results.
