Reducing Friction Between Traffic, Billing & Payments 

 Date: Thursday, July 9, 2026
Time: 1pm CT (2pm ET/12pm MT/11am PT) 

Overview: Media finance teams operate at the intersection of traffic, billing, and payments — but when those systems fall out of sync, friction builds quickly. In this session, we’ll explore where breakdowns typically occur across media finance workflows and why integration is often the key to improving performance.

By the end of the session, attendees will have a clearer framework for evaluating their current setup and identifying where friction is coming from — so they can move faster with less risk.

Overview: Navigating Small Business Bankruptcies is an educational program designed specifically for the media industry, including publishers, broadcasters, advertising agencies, digital media companies, and other businesses that extend trade credit to their customers. When a customer files for bankruptcy, trade creditors are often faced with uncertainty regarding outstanding receivables, ongoing business relationships, and potential exposure to bankruptcy preference claims. This program will aid credit managers, accounts receivable professionals, CFO’s, controllers, finance executives and media company executives in understanding the different types of chapter 11 proceedings available to small businesses and what those different chapter 11 proceedings mean to your company. The program provides a practical overview of the various types of chapter 11 proceedings so that your company can respond effectively when a customer becomes financially distressed.  This program will also include a discussion on bankruptcy preference claims.  Attendees will learn how preference actions arise, common defenses available to creditors, and practical strategies that can reduce exposure before a bankruptcy filing occurs.
