KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
Growing Registrations and Revenue in APAC
APAC is an established, mobile-first region that has seen rapid growth in the app install market in recent years. In this presentation, we will discuss how to leverage audience metrics, paid media, and brand partnerships in the region.
The mobile app ecosystem for publishers is undergoing a very significant transformation in the way inventory is mediated. Bidding is rapidly becoming the primary way that publishers and developers mediate their inventory to drive incremental revenue while gaining operational efficiencies that come with real time bidding. During this session, you'll hear from Facebook Audience Network on the how bidding works, the benefits it provides, and how to get started on the journey.

How Mobile App Growth Strategies Have Changed Forever
This year could be easily summed up as “chaotic,” and probably a few other adjectives as well. To get this far we have had to learn how to steer around obstacles and at times “navigate chaos” to develop new best practices on the fly. Junde Yu, VP of Sales and Global Support at App Annie, will share what they’ve seen from companies successfully navigating mobile and how to best adapt for 2021 and beyond.

UA & Retargeting Strategies
What Will Work in 2021
With over 80% market share in Asia, Android users and apps will not have to worry about Apple’s IDFA deprecation. For the APAC region, IDFA is less of a concern, but how are UA and Retargeting strategies shifting still because of iOS 14’s major change to IDFA opt-ins? We will discuss what UA and Retargeting Companies, and Agencies, are doing, and what they see from their clients, on how Apple’s shift for Western market share dominance affects Eastern acquisition strategies.
