In this conversation with Melissa Gallo and Michael Greene, the trio will explore why more RMNs are rethinking third-party identity infrastructure — and what it takes to bring identity back in-house. In the next phase of retail media, control over data won’t just be a technical decision... It will be a competitive advantage. 📍 Breakout D: Your Identity Graph, Their Rules 🗓️ April 16 | 10:15–10:45 If you’re thinking about the future of retail media infrastructure, this is one to catch. 👉 Learn more: https://hubs.li/Q04b1qnR0 #RetailMedia #IdentityResolution #FirstPartyData #DataInfrastructure #CommerceMedia
