Unpacking the shifts like:
WTSFest Video Hub On-Demand
Crystal Carter (She/Her)
Head of AI Search & SEO Comms, Wix
Agents are users too. Not only do they have challenges and considerations, but they make buying decisions and even complete transactions.
Gartner predicts that 40% of enterprise apps will feature AI agents by the end of the year, and the emergence of agentic shopping from Google and OpenAI cannot be ignored.
In this talk we get into how you can optimize the agentic web to win in 2026.
Tina Reis (They/Them)
SEO Consultant
To implement our SEO recommendations, we have to get buy-in from our stakeholders. But what if you're hitting a wall and they're not convinced?
In this talk, you'll learn how to use data to get buy-in for your initiatives. Using data stories the right way, you'll be able to move from "this is a SEO best practice" to "this will have an impact, and this is why".
Zoe Burke (She/Her)
Head of Content, Brand & Social, Bridebook
It's not just about ranking. Get ready to learn a practical framework to ensure you're crafting content with purpose - engaging readers, building trust and delivering impact long after you've appeared on page one.

Aleyda SolÃs (She/Her)
SEO Consultant & Founder, Orainti & SEOFOMO
Let’s explore the latest state of AI search: What’s the current level of adoption? Which players are leading the way? What actionable steps can we take to maximize our impact?

Dawn Anderson (She/Her)
Founder, Bertey
The birth of Generative Information Retrieval was 2023, so we're only a couple of years into the biggest paradigm shift the search world has experienced. Inevitably there's much confusion, mysticism and mythology filling the void of accurate understanding.
In this talk you'll learn some of the common jargon - what really matters and what is simply noise (and even perhaps spam which might lead you into hot water). From chunking to vector databases and llms.txt.
Chima Mmeje (She/Her)
Senior Content Marketing Manager, Moz
ChatGPT can do more than draft blog posts. You can use it to create and maintain a robust content engine.
In this talk, you'll learn how to use it to run webinars, write thought leadership content, and diversify your traffic channels.
Marie-Paule Kenmogne (She/Her)
Founder
Everyone says AI agents and no-code tools will take over our jobs. Instead of debating, I tested it myself: automating keyword clustering with n8n, OpenAI, and Google Sheets.
This talk shares the wins, the fails, and what it really means for SEO.
Victory Umurhurhu-Michael (She/Her)
Founder & Marketing Consultant, Contenticore
This talk covers how AI is reshaping search and Reddit’s rising influence, why its content drives trust, key platform mechanics, brand engagement strategies, common pitfalls, how to use Reddit’s API for insights and ways to future-proof your brand voice.
Mo Kanjilal Williams (She/Her)
Founder & Director, Edge Of Difference
Does work make you feel like you need to change to fit in? SEO world is all about ranking to be visible and it can feel like that in your career too.
How do you own your differences and create the career you want without having to be someone else?
Poorna Bell (She/Her)
Author, Journalist, & Public Speaker
An award winning journalist, published author, and public speaker, Poorna is a champion for women, wellness and fitness, mental health, diversity and inclusion.
