Generative AI search is here, not near. For marketing leaders looking to boost authority in house or for clients, pull up a seat to our panel discussion about search strategy.


Building on critical conversations (and heated disagreements) from MIMA’s March event “The Future of Search,” go a click deeper with our panel of experts who have been following along – and speaking out about – generative AI updates.


Topics will include:

  • How generative search engines are changing the rules of discoverability
  • What SGE (Search Generative Experience) means for traditional SEO
  • Tools and tech powering generative search (LLMs, RAG, vector databases, etc.)
  • Content strategy for AI: How to create source material that AI will to pull from
  • The ethical, legal, and creative implications of AI-written search results


Moderated by Tim Brunelle, marketing consultant and teacher, learn alongside our panelists, a team of marketing pros who will share timely perspectives, hot takes, and when to ignore the hype.

  • Joel Swaney, principal SEO at Collective Measures
  • Jen Jones, GEO program manager at Perrill
  • Deborah Carver, independent consultant and the publisher of The Content Technologist
  • Scott Litman, Co-Founder of Lucy (Capacity's Answer Engine®)


A panel like this isn’t here to nod and agree with each other. It’s curated to surface the tensions between brand and algorithm, speed and strategy, visibility and ownership.


Hear from those on the front lines of brand visibility, return with a critical eye in how to be a part of the conversation, where it’s taking place. Show up, stand out, and reserve your seat today.
