About this event

About the event

Google’s search experience has been fundamentally transformed. The new AI Mode invites users into a conversational search, where AI-generated responses now appear as the primary result. Rather than simply directing users to a list of websites, AI Mode instantly synthesises information from hundreds of sources at a speed and depth beyond human capability. It acts as a conversational assistant, providing direct answers and rich, contextual summaries right within the browser, seamlessly guiding the user journey.

This shift means users no longer need to visit websites for basic information, the AI now fulfils that need instantly. This seminar explores what this new reality means for your business, and how brands must adapt their content and digital strategies to remain visible and relevant in an AI-first search landscape.

This session addresses what this seismic change means for your brand’s earned and owned media, and provides a clear, high-level strategy to help you respond.
