<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="ContentPasted0">Today the average consumer spends 8+ hours a day across all devices interacting with online content almost entirely
sponsored by advertisements. At over $550B global market size in 2022, and expected to pass $800B by 2026, digital advertising has already surpassed traditional ads in global spend and continues to grow despite economic headwinds. Digital advertising and in
particular computational advertising is perhaps the most visible and ubiquitous application of machine learning and one that interacts directly with consumers. When done right, ads connect us to opportunities to enrich our lives and creep us out when done
badly. Recently at the forefront of political battles between governments, large multinational corporations, and consumers, digital advertising remains a dynamic industry and research area.</span></p>

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="ContentPasted0">Looking at the published literature over the last few years, many researchers might consider computational advertising
as a mature field. Yet, the opposite is true. Computational advertising is evolving from simple rule-based ads controlled by monolithic publishers and randomly rotating banner ads to highly personalized content experiences within native, video, and display
formats on mobile devices, connected TV, and audio—all utilizing data amassed from petabytes of stored user data collected increasingly through inferred identity providers. Increasing use of sequence models and the rise of Generative AI is spawning new directions
such as auto-generation of ad creatives or pay-for-use shopping assistants. Ads are far from done.</span></p>

been organized every year since 2007, focusing on highlighting state-of-the-art advances in computational advertising. All the workshops were well attended, often with standing room only, and very well received both by the academic community and the advertising
industry. We look forward to seeing you in-person to discuss the past, present, and future of computational advertising!</span></p>

advertising has progressed beyond the notion of traditional desktop ads to ads that are native, social, mobile, and contextual. In tandem, the rise of new mechanisms, such as header bidding, complex ad exchanges, repeated auctions, ad blockers, viewability
trackers, and others, challenge the traditional notions of advertising. There also continue to exist controversial issues in advertising such as privacy, security, fraud, ethics, and economic attribution. We invite papers that are focused on some of the above
aspects.</span></p>
