The 122-page production features insights from nearly 40 of the industry’s best and brightest, from Ad-ID to Zoo Digital.

Broken up in five industry areas — security, workflows, cloud creation, data and smart content — the “M&E Journal” also features columns from companies including YuMe and Evolution Digital, along with though pieces from MESA’s executive leadership.

Here’s a quick look at what’s included in each section:
