Search increasingly influences more decisions with help from artificial intelligence, machine learning and mobile, which have become the foundation for some of the most powerful tools in advertising and marketing. The programmatic technology and signals based on millions, if not billions, of data points assist in creating personalized text- and image-based experiences across search engines, retail, brand, and publisher sites.

“I would trade 100 SES, Ad-Techs, or other “trade shows” to be at one SIS. The relationships built, and the thought provoking conversations which you are a part of are invaluable. It’s awesome to see that the Summit recognized and focused on how search really was more than the “click” or SERP. Looking forward to the next one!”
