Keynote: Avis Budget: The Future Of Capturing Demand In Fractured Customer Journeys
Gone are the days someone sits down at a desktop computer to complete a transition using search as the entrance to the Internet. Consumers jump from desktop to tablet to mobile. While car rental companies generally don't generate demand, they can capture it by being present in the micro moment when someone needs an automobile. What are the implications of multiple devices on search engine advertising and marketing? With more than thousands of rental locations, join Neal Zamore, VP of consumer marketing at Avis Budget, as he walks through how the company captures demand from online digital media and offline, such as television, when consumers use search to query generic car rental options. Zamore also will share his vision of search for the future.

Panel: When Browsers No Longer Become Search's Front Door
The browser and the search engine have traditionally represented the front door, a way to discover new content and find answers, but machine to machine and mobile devices continue to change the way consumers receive information. Today more information gets pushed to consumers through beacons and sensors. How do marketers optimize content as technology pushes messages based on historic searches, email messages and calendar reminders? As media becomes more connected, how do marketers optimize content and what happens to paid search advertising?

Presentation: Connecting Television With Search
Understanding the dynamics between on-air television broadcasts and search engine advertising and marketing becomes critical in a cross-screen strategy. The erratic path to purchase makes it important for search marketers to understand how television drives search and how search drives television viewers. What do marketers know about how messaging, frequency, sequence drive response across TV and search? Join us as Erin Everhart, digital strategist and content marketer at Home Depot, explores the ways marketer should think about the future cross-screen media buys and strategies.

Panel: Moving Programmatic Media Buys Into The Hands Of Search Marketers
It makes sense for paid search professionals to run programmatic buys because of the similarities in automation and optimization processes. Yet programmatic buying became isolated into separate media, centralized into trading desks. Concerns over transparency, attribution, measurement and control have begun to slowly surface, but are paid search professionals ready to manage programmatic buying? What will it take? What are the roadblocks? What are the benefits? Join a panel of experts to explore the options.

Interview: What About Ad Blocking?
Research shows the number of people globally using ad blocking software grew 41% during the first half of 2015, compared with a year ago. Experts say we can expect to see percentages creep higher in the coming year, as more consumers adopt iOS 9, which supports ad blocking in Apple's mobile operating system. Where do content and native ads fit in? Should marketers be concerned? What are the challenges and options for those who spend numerous hours crafting paid search advertisements only to have them blocked from serving up in the browser?
