Strategy in the Age of AI. No BS, Just What Works
Host: Gavin Duff, Friday Agency

Info: Everyone says SEO has changed. They’re half right. What’s actually happened is search has exploded – splintered across platforms, voices, devices, and now AI.
The work hasn’t disappeared. It’s multiplied. So, this talk isn’t about hacks or levels or metaphors. It’s about doing the actual work.
Feed machines what they want. Feed humans what they need. That’s your SEO now


🕑: 11:30 AM
Navigating the Smoke and Mirrors of AI in Paid Search

After this talk, you’ll be able to confidently use AI in paid search with the focus on your goals rather than the goals of the ad platforms

How to shift from posting for algorithms to publishing with purpose.
Three practical pillars for every marketer:
Audience focus over platform chasing (use AI to find where your audience really is).
Plan like a publisher (content pillars + 30-day calendar).
