WOO London Congress 2026

Dino Burbidge: Now, Next and the Wondrous Future of OOH

Stone walls becoming screens, lampposts becoming data centres, experiential fire in colour and virtual brains for testing creative — Burbidge’s WOO London 2026 tour of the medium’s near horizon.

As the old adage goes “the only constant in life is change”, and the last 12 months in OOH have been no exception. The AI juggernaut hasn’t slowed down, and some interesting trends have started to emerge. Consumer trust in ads is up, yet trust in AI ads is down, a lot. AI is everywhere, but it’s not the whole story. There are lots of weird and wonderful innovations on the OOH horizon waiting for their moment in the spotlight.

Stone walls are literally becoming screens, lampposts are becoming data centres, experiential fire now comes in colours and you can finally test your creative campaigns on virtual brains. So if you’re curious about the future or just want a 20-minute injection of quick-fire inspiration, check out the Now, Next and Wondrous Future session from WOO London 2026.
