Leaders' Briefing 2023

This event is now full. Members can join the waitlist and we will let you know when a space becomes available: https://forms.gle/GjTaHq88K6NZ

The DPP's 8th annual Leaders' Briefing is a conference and networking event bringing together the supplier and content provider community. It will take place in person in London.

Senior executives from over 30 major media organisations will share exclusive intelligence about their priorities. No other industry event provides so much focused insight in one place, all tailored to suppliers and content providers.

*Please note that this is an in person event only and will not be available to join online.*

The Leaders’ Briefing is a free-to-attend event for DPP members, which means we always have a certain number of people who register but don’t turn up. We have developed algorithms for this, which enable us to calculate the proportion of registered people that will attend.

Nevertheless to ensure immediate access to the Briefing please arrive early:

  • Registration and breakfast opens at 0815
  • Late arrivals may experience a delay in their entry if we experience an exceptionally high turn up rate

Thank you.

If you experience any problems registering for DPP events or watching any online events, please contact events@thedpp.com.

16:15 - 16:30 What customers really want - revealed

Tech suppliers hype the latest buzzwords - but is that actually the tech customers buy? In this special session Caretta Research lifts the lid on where technology buyers are really investing. They provide the inside track on the hard cash: revealing who’s buying which products from whom, exposing the cold spots, and spotlighting the segments of the market with most growth.
