Speakers

Dan McCartney - Head Of Search & Social @ Hallam

Talk: "Slop, Scroll, Switch: How Audiences Are Reclaiming the Internet"

Description:

The internet has spent decades trying to replicate human conversation, but never quite managed it.

AI slop is now pushing audiences toward more human spaces like Reddit, Substack and Medium, while Google bets the web will go "agentic-first," ignoring that uptake is a human decision, not a technical one (75% of Brits already say they dislike AI).

This talk makes the case that no fad or platform shift changes the fundamentals: people buy from people, and trust built through conversation is the one channel marketing can't automate away.

Maaria Khatri - Senior Search Everywhere Strategist @ Deviation

Talk: "TBA"

Nikki Halliwell - Senior Technical SEO Manager @ Journey Further

Talk: "Indexation Engineering: Controlling What Actually Gets Indexed"

Description:

Google doesn’t index everything anymore. And it’s not trying to. Indexation is selective by design. AI search systems are even more selective. Most sites are massively overestimating what’s indexed. Indexation is earned, not given. This is how you can direct these systems in the right direction

Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and expand your knowledge. See you there!
