This year’s OAAA/GEOPATH OOH Media Conference takes place in Nashville, TN. from Monday, March 27 to Wednesday, March 29, 2023 and more speakers have been announced.
Celebrated country music artist Tyler Hubbard, brand marketing industry veteran Kevin McLaughlin, and renowned humanitarian and leader in international development Hugh Evans will help exemplify how the out of home industry has broken down traditional boundaries and continues to expand its influence.
- As the first keynote of the event in ‘Music City’ Tyler Hubbard will address the current and future state of entertainment, and what it means to reach and engage fans in today’s media landscape. With a voice that’s a staple on country music radio, including his 20 No. 1 hits that are woven into the fabric of pop culture, Hubbard spent the last decade as the lead singer of multi-platinum selling duo Florida Georgia Line before venturing out as a solo artist.
- Hugh Evans, Co-Founder and CEO of Global Citizen, the world’s leading international advocacy organization, will also be taking the stage on Tuesday morning to talk about how he’s grown the movement into a worldwide community of everyday activists raising their voices and taking action on the most urgent issues facing humanity and our planet, and the role OOH has played in supporting this mission.
- Kevin McLaughlin will be leaning into the future of innovation and advertising for the opening keynote on Wednesday. As Chief Marketing Officer, Consumer Group at T-Mobile, McLaughlin was one of the architects behind the Un-carrier strategy, which continues to power the brand today, and was part of the leadership team behind the successful MetroPCS integration.
