These ads highlighted the diverse lineup of speakers, showcasing the rich content of the event. Our targeting zeroed in on job titles such as Software Programmer, Web Programmer, Software Development Engineer, and Computer Scientist to attract the right audienceSince the virtual format eliminated travel and cost barriers, we expanded the geographic targeting to reach both domestic and international audiences.
