We're just days away from CJU25 and the excitement is building!
For more than two decades, CJ has brought together advertisers, agencies, publishers, and partners for our flagship event — CJU. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Santa Barbara beachfront, CJU is where connections are made, strategies are forged, and unforgettable memories are created.
CJU25 is the launchpad for our Connected Commerce vision—showcasing CJ as the connector across the entire commerce journey.
Before we dive into all the ways to connect at CJU25, we'd like to give a huge thank you to our Diamond Sponsor, AT&T, for co-hosting this year's event. 💎
