DMEXCO 2025
We’re excited to announce that Limelight will be back at Europe’s premier event for digital marketing and technology: DMEXCO! This year's event takes place September 17-18 in Cologne, Germany.

Whether you're a longtime partner or someone we haven’t met yet, we’d love to start a conversation and explore how we can work together. Let’s meet in Cologne!
MAD//Fest 2025
MAD//FEST London 2025 was a great one packed with networking opportunities, reconnecting with industry faces, and all the hottest insights.
For Limelight, this was our first time partnering with the event, as we co-hosted inside an XL Beach Hut alongside The Digital Voice™ and their client partners. There was a real buzz about the booth, as all five companies welcomed clients and prospects to chew the hashtag#adtech fat.
In between meetings, our team of 10 made the most of the opportunity to catch up on the sessions running across the site, and our Co-Founder and CRO James Macdonald took to the DigiAds stage for the hot debate: Humans or AI? Dive in to our page to find our takeaways, multimedia and check out the full panel.
Cannes 2025
The Limelight team were right in the heat of adtech conversations in a location just as hot: Cannes Lions 2025.
From hosting the Adtech Kick-off Lunch to meeting with brilliant client partners, we left Cannes with more than just great connections. For those that didn't get to catch us in Cannes, we've packed together all the tech, truths and takeaways from this year’s event on our page below.
From the fear of AI to why ad networks are still alive and thriving, podcasts to team reflections, dive in for our top insights.
