Core offering

ad:tech operates an annual two-day digital marketing conference and exhibition in New Delhi bringing together brands, agencies, and ad-tech/mar-tech technology providers. Revenue is generated through ticket sales (All Access Pass, Visitor Pass), tiered sponsorship packages (Platinum through Bronze), exhibition booth rentals, and partner-hosted workshops across multiple content stages (VISION, LIVE, DEEPDIVE). The companion ad:tech Honours awards program recognizes technology, tools, and platforms transforming the advertising industry.

Product overview

ad:tech North America operates as an event and conference company rather than a traditional software product vendor. The company's core offering is the ad:tech Conference, India's largest and most influential digital marketing event since 2011, complemented by the ad:tech Honours awards program, the Leadership Lens video interview series, and the annual Drivers of Growth research report published in partnership with Tyroo. The event features multiple stages (ad:tech VISION, ad:tech LIVE, and ad:tech DEEPDIVE) and includes Partner Events/Workshops, an Innovation Zone for product showcases, and a Business Connect App for attendee networking. On Demand content provides access to recorded sessions. The company does not appear to offer standalone software products, APIs, or cloud-based technology platforms.

Others

• Comexposium Group: Parent company and one of the world's largest B2B event organizers, operating 400+ events including ad:tech. Included for relevance as the controlling entity rather than as a market competitor.

Broad incumbents

• TechCrunch Disrupt: Major technology conference with strong adtech/martech exhibitor base and founder/operator audience. Overlaps with ad:tech's Innovation Zone startup showcase concept, though broader technology scope.
• Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity: The world's largest and most prestigious advertising creativity festival, combining conference programming with the Lions awards. Overlaps with ad:tech's Honours awards program and senior marketing audience, but operates at materially larger scale and broader creative scope.
• Adweek: Major advertising industry media brand that runs conferences and events for marketing and advertising professionals. Adjacent competitor for sponsor attention and event-driven content in the same category.
• Web Summit: One of the world's largest tech conferences with strong adtech/martech presence among exhibitors and attendees. Competes for enterprise marketing budgets and digital marketing decision-maker attention, though broader in scope.

Direct peers

• Advertising Week: Flagship B2B conference and exhibition for the global advertising and marketing industry, with multi-city editions (New York, London, Tokyo). Closely comparable business model to ad:tech — ticketed attendees, tiered sponsorships, exhibition floor, and senior decision-maker audience.
• DMEXCO: Europe's leading digital marketing and tech expo held in Cologne, targeting the same adtech/martech buyer and seller ecosystem. Direct competitor for sponsor mindshare and global decision-maker attendance.
• MAD//Fest: Marketing, advertising and disruption festival in London with exhibitions, speaker stages, and awards. Comparable in format (multi-stage content, exhibition, awards) and target audience to ad:tech's New Delhi event.
• Festival of Marketing: UK-based annual marketing conference and exhibition featuring multi-track content and senior brand-side attendees. Mirrors ad:tech's positioning as a senior-decision-maker marketing event with tiered sponsorships.

Emerging players

• Programmatic World: Specialist conference focused specifically on programmatic advertising — a key sub-vertical of ad:tech's coverage. Competes for the same SSP/DSP/agency decision-maker audience with a narrower topical focus.
