The Digital Place-based Advertising Association (DPAA) will kick off its 6th annual Summit on Oct. 22 with an appearance by celebrity journalist Cat Greenleaf, host of ‘USA Daytime’ and the Emmy Award-winning ‘Talk Stoop with Cat Greenleaf‘.
Cat Greenleaf will welcome Summit attendees and conduct an interview with DPAA President and CEO Barry Frey.
‘Talk Stoop with Cat Greenleaf‘ is seen on NBC 4 New York, as well as on additional NBC Owned Television Stations in the country’s top markets and on COZI TV, NBC’s national multicast network. ‘Talk Stoop’ can also be seen on DPAA member VeriFone Media’s out-of-home digital video network (VNET) in taxi cabs and on gas pumps across the country.
The theme of this year’s DPAA Summit is ‘Video Everywhere‘ and the event will be held at the Hilton New York with more than 450 industry executives – the majority from the brand and agency side of the business – expected to attend.
“Cat Greenleaf is an emerging star whose popularity has been aided in no small measure by her work in the digital place-based media arena,” said Frey. “Cat’s career arc speaks to dpb’s ability to reach large audiences in a highly impactful way. We’re pleased and excited to have Cat as a speaker at our annual Summit.”
