More than 400 adland execs flocked to the AdNews Media Summit to test their knowledge on topics, including AI, programmatic and automation.

Held at the Royal Randwick Racecourse, sessions explored the collision of TV and digital and the ROI focus of the industry.

Dr Karen Nelson-Field was a keynote speaker, along with Danny Bass who said the world will survive without paid media.

Sponsors Tribe, Advvy and Near led the tech fastfront sessions, showing off the latest developments from their businesses.
