AI and the Future of Search: What It Means for Your SEO Strategy
Artificial Intelligence is redefining the search landscape and the change is accelerating fast. AI is no longer a novelty in SEO; it’s reshaping how people search, discover, and engage with content online. Understanding this shift is now critical for every brand’s digital strategy.
Join us for an exclusive presentation and panel discussion exploring how the leading AI search platforms are transforming SEO performance. We’ll unpack what’s changing, what still matters, and how your business can adapt to stay ahead.
Traditional SEO has focused on keywords, backlinks, and rankings. AI-driven search, however, prioritises brand authority, relevance, and citations - returning richer, more context-aware answers. The goalposts have shifted, and so must our approach.
Our speakers; Marco Zdrenka, Calibre + Candor’s Head of Search, and Sheila Worsley, Managing Director, will share first-hand insights from client work and award-recognised campaigns. Together, they’ll help you understand the real-world implications of AI SEO and how to future-proof your strategy.
AI isn’t just changing search; it’s changing the way we think about visibility, credibility, and growth. Don’t get left behind, get informed.
