With announcements from OpenAI, Google and Apple it is becoming clearer that their AI products are positioning themselves for closer relationships to consumers. As more sits within their walled gardens and we have less control over search, alerts and summaries, where does discovery come from in the future? What does the future of our relationships with consumers look like? And what formats should we be delivering in? As a group we will discuss various scenarios and how we prepare for them.
Friday
Join colleagues for a welcome tea or coffee before diving into the day’s seminars.
