Legal powerhouse John Morgan, Dallas Cowboys brand leader Meredith Counce, and marketing visionary Rishad Tobaccowala will headline the largest out of home (OOH) industry conference, taking place May 11–13, 2026, in Dallas, Texas.

The Out of Home Advertising Association of America (OAAA) announced that registration is now open for the 2026 OOH Media Conference, the premier gathering for the OOH advertising industry. This year’s theme, “The Human Medium,” will explore how OOH inspires genuine human moments and fosters meaningful connections—from the billboard on your morning commute to the mural that defines a neighborhood’s identity.

As the fastest-growing traditional media channel in the United States, OOH continues to distinguish itself by connecting with people where they live, move, and make purchasing decisions. It also enhances the impact of digital, social, and mobile campaigns by grounding them in the physical world.

“The OOH Media Conference isn’t just another industry meetup—it’s where marketers and leaders come together to see what’s next in the real world,” said Anna Bager, President & CEO of OAAA. “This year, we’re focusing on something timeless: the power of human connection. OOH reaches people in ways no screen can—on the street, in transit, and in moments that matter. Attendees will leave with fresh ideas, practical insights, and inspiration for campaigns that do more than get noticed—they get remembered.”

The 2026 event will gather decision-makers, creative minds, brand leaders, and media owners to reimagine the role of out of home in the modern marketing mix. Participants will gain actionable insights into how OOH builds stronger consumer relationships, amplifies campaigns across channels, and delivers authentic brand experiences.

Headlining the event is John Morgan, Founder of Morgan & Morgan, one of the nation’s largest law firms and a leading investor in OOH advertising. In 2024, Morgan & Morgan ranked among the top 10 OOH advertisers in the U.S., reflecting the firm’s deep belief in OOH’s unmatched ability to drive awareness, attract clients, and generate measurable results.

Joining him on stage will be Meredith Counce, SVP of Brand & Marketing for the Dallas Cowboys, and Rishad Tobaccowala, Author and Senior Advisor at Publicis Groupe. Meredith offers a unique perspective shaped by her experience leading one of the most recognized brands in sports and entertainment. The Cowboys organization continues to redefine brand innovation, fan engagement, and cultural influence on a global scale.

Rishad Tobaccowala, recognized by BusinessWeek as one of the world’s top business leaders and by TIME Magazine as one of five “Marketing Innovators,” is known for his pioneering work in digital transformation. His human-centered approach to brand storytelling helps global organizations connect authentically, build trust, and drive sustainable growth.

Additional keynote speakers, including leading brand marketers and industry innovators, will be announced in the coming months. The 2026 OOH Media Conference promises to unite the marketing and media community for three days of creativity, insight, and connection in the heart of Dallas.
