Two weeks ago, iSpot brought together brand leaders, publishers and measurement practitioners for TV Disrupt 2026, and the timing couldn’t have been better. AI is reshaping every corner of the industry. But trust hasn’t kept pace. This year’s TV Disrupt theme—Putting the Ad Intelligence in AI—was iSpot’s answer to the moment. Not AI for the… Read More
