For social ads strategists.
The NERDS have run Ads Camp since 2018, with more than 1,350 people through its doors, and in 2026 they called it a forum for social ads strategists.
Talks, workshops and breakout sessions on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn and TikTok.

Questions sent in advance.
Attendees send their questions before the day, and the speakers build their sessions around them, in talks, Q and A and breakouts.
The speakers came from LinkedIn, agencies and in-house teams.
The TikTok deadline.
TikTok asks for business verification once spend reaches a threshold set for your market, with a deadline, and ads pause if you miss it.
Verifying a Business Center covers the ad accounts beneath it, and it takes an admin to file.
