Session 1: Get Your Brand Recommended by AI: A Marketer's Playbook for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) (11:30am-12:15pm ET)

When consumers ask ChatGPT, Google's AI Overview, and other AI platforms for recommendations, does your brand make the list? Increasingly, AI is shaping how people discover products, services, and solutions. This session is designed for marketers who want to leave with actionable steps they can implement immediately. You'll learn how Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) differs from traditional SEO, what signals AI systems use when recommending brands, and how to identify opportunities to improve your visibility in AI-generated answers. Discover how organizations of all sizes, including lean teams without specialized tools or agency support, are outperforming larger competitors by focusing on the actions that matter most. You'll walk away with a clear understanding of what to prioritize this quarter to increase the likelihood that AI recommends your brand.
