In this afternoon session brought to you by the Social sub committee of Interactive Advertising Bureau Hong Kong (HKDMA), we spoke to different industry gurus and platform providers on their live streaming experiences and different opportunities they see.

Hong Kong is one of the most digitally enabled cities in the world.However, is digital advertising here par with the global average or our Asian neighbours?

We talked to leading players, from digital publishers & platform owners, agencies & exchanges, marketers, industry experts and measurement organizations, in our local digital marketing eco-system to get their perspectives on the current digital marketing landscape, challenges and opportunities.
