Semantic Search is widely acknowledged as the next major trend in search technology. Indeed, it's no longer "next"…it's here right now.
So what does this mean exactly? How does semantic technology change search results? What are the key marketing advantages and new opportunities that semantics provides? How does it affect SEO and SEM? And how does semantics re-shape the search market? Does the industry start to fragment now with more and more solutions designed for industry-specific niches?
Come to Semantic Search Day for answers to all of these questions, and leave with an understanding of the many strategic and tactical implications that Semantic Search is going to have for your business.
- The following activities are included in your Semantic Search Day pass and run between 8:30am and 6:00pm
