THINK TANKS: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & RECURRING REVENUES

-

Think Tanks

Collaboration is at the core of the PPA Leadership Summit, providing a platform for attendees to connect, share insights and problem-solve. These are interactive sessions bringing all attendees on camera, led by a session moderator. Numbers for each session will be limited to ensure an active, high-value experience for all participants.

Note: Think Tanks are for publishers only and you will be asked to pre-select your sessions nearer the time.
