Exceptional standards in action

We’re excited to be in Cannes, joining the industry’s leading voices shaping the future of media.


At this year’s festival, we’re showcasing the latest advancements across the Index Exchange platform—including Index Cloud, our new infrastructure layer that brings intelligence directly inside the exchange, closer to the point of transaction.


Programmatic is at an inflection point. As decisioning moves closer to the impression, the open internet is evolving into a more performant and efficient ecosystem, closing the gap with walled gardens while remaining transparent and open by design.


Join us in Cannes to explore what’s next.

She Runs It in Cannes: Lift As You Climb in Partnership with Index Exchange


The World Economic Forum estimates that it will take 169 years to close the global gender gap in economic participation and opportunity, but several influential leaders are determined to shorten that distance, significantly. When resolute women put their minds and hands together to propel other women forward, it significantly shortens the distance between where we are now and a world in which gender equality is the norm. In this conversation, a panel of courageous leaders will discuss the actions necessary to pursue change and achieve equity for women in marketing, media, and tech. Learn how equal doses of inspiration and perspiration can lead to positive change.
