DCN Q&A session with Spotify re: Apple App Store
2025-05-14 12:00 - 12:45
We’ve arranged a 45-minute session on the Apple App Store ruling with 30 minutes of Q&A with Dustee Jenkins, Chief Public Affairs Officer at Spotify, to discuss their rapid response to the recent court ruling on Apple’s App Store changes. Following the Q&A, Ms. Jenkins will drop off the call and we’ll use the last 15 minutes for members-only discussion to share challenges and next steps,
Why this matters:

Real-time intelligence: Spotify rolled out its App Store update within 24 hours of the court’s decision—one of the first major subscription companies to act.
Strategic guidance: Their real-time experience offers immediate learnings on how publishers should prioritize and operationalize similar changes.
High relevance: The outcome of Apple’s appeal and stay requests (including a pending emergency stay decision) will continue to shape DCN members strategy (short and long-term) in the days and weeks ahead.

Recommended attendees:

Executives responsible for App Store and/or subscription strategy
Policy and legal leads monitoring platform litigation and compliance

We strongly encourage your participation and invite you to bring the appropriate internal stakeholders to ensure your organization is well-informed on this fast-evolving issue. This is a free event for DCN members. The unique, members-only attendee list allows for open conversation, information sharing and networking.
