Be where discovery starts and decisions are made.

April 29, 2026
Keynote Theater 1 Miami

For decades, marketers relied on linear funnels to map customer journeys, but that paradigm is now obsolete. AI has accelerated the landscape, creating a "super-empowered consumer" who navigates complex needs instantly. These consumers are no longer just sequential buyers; they are searching, streaming, scrolling, and shopping simultaneously, using AI as the connective tissue between these behaviors.

This seminar examines how to adapt your strategy to this new velocity. We will explore how search technology has evolved from simple information retrieval to "agentic" intelligence that helps users make decisions with unprecedented confidence. Attendees will learn why trusted content and creator influence are now critical for shortening the purchase cycle, particularly in video environments where entertainment and decision-making converge.

Beyond theory, we will discuss actionable tactics for building a holistic "brand home base" that capitalizes on high-intent research. We will cover why isolating social media from search strategy leads to missed opportunities, as 81% of social discoveries eventually validate their choices through search. Finally, we will challenge the industry standard of fixed budgeting, demonstrating how fluid, demand-based spending unlocks maximum opportunity. Join us to learn how to move at the speed of the modern consumer and drive higher efficacy across every digital touchpoint.
