We've submitted two session proposals for the upcoming 24NTC conference, and we need your help during the community input phase of session selection (you will need to sign in or create an account to give feedback). NTC conferences are community-driven events, and your input plays a crucial role in determining which sessions will be included in the conference program. We’d really appreciate it if you could participate in providing community input for the conference.  There are so many great session proposals! This year, we’re focusing on two important themes: comprehensive cross-client data analysis and what to expect with the demise of third party cookies. To provide input for our sessions, please follow these simple steps: 1. Either log in or create an account (if you do not already have one). Click the links below.  https://lnkd.in/gW5WzscZ https://lnkd.in/gSwTNZvb 2. Go to the “What do you think?” input section on the right hand side of the page and “like” the proposal. This lets the conference organizers know that you recommend this session to be selected for the conference. 3. If you have time and are interested, look through other session proposals and provide feedback on sessions that you think would make a good contribution to the conference. Your input will contribute to the overall quality of the conference program and help us share valuable insights with a wider audience.
