Best practices and hands-on insights in the BVDW masterclasses at DMEXCO 2024

The German Association for the Digital Economy (BVDW) is synonymous with deep digital expertise. Every year, its experts reveal at DMEXCO how you can further strengthen your marketing skills with the latest insights from the digital industry. Of course, the BVDW masterclasses are precisely tailored to your professional needs as a marketer. Carsten Rasner, Managing Director of the BVDW, explained how topics are chosen:

“As a shaper of the future, we provide valuable inspiration and guidance with our BVDW masterclasses each year. We really focused intensively on the needs of DMEXCO visitors when identifying topics in 2024. We created 25 masterclasses from the over 100 ideas submitted by our members, all designed with the motto in mind and covering the relevant topics. These spanned the full spectrum: from the evergreens to new formats and from overarching themes such as digital responsibility to best practices and hands-on insights on data clean rooms and other topics. While much more intense, this process resulted in a superbly curated offering – which was also reflected in the visitor numbers.”
