SEARCH. DISCOVER. INFORM.
DELIVER. CONNECT. 

Step out of everyday execution mode this November and join us for three days of practical advice, thought leadership, and interaction with colleagues and peers. Discover how to design, build, and manage better search and discovery to help extract critical knowledge and business value from your organizational data.

Today, search is evolving. It's gaining new names, such as insight engines and cognitive search. Cognitive computing, semantic technologies, graph architectures, artificial intelligence, big data, machine learning, and speech recognition are but some of the new technologies that are changing the search experience.

The Enterprise Search & Discovery Conference, now in its 16th year, is the only conference dedicated to exploring this critical business and technical challenge and opportunity. Join us as we explore how to provide transformative enterprise search and information discovery across your organization.
