Enterprise Search & Discovery 2021 Will Be Held Virtually
Just a few months ago, we seemed to be on a path to return to Washington, DC for our first in-person Enterprise Search & Discovery conference in two years. Our planners, speakers, and community were all very excited to see everyone face-to-face again. Unfortunately, it now seems there continues to be too many obstacles in our way for us to overcome. We have recently made the decision that we will not be able to host Enterprise Search & Discovery 2021 as an in-person event.
We deeply appreciate your support of Enterprise Search & Discovery and your understanding that we have made every effort to host Enterprise Search & Discovery 2021.
We are, however, excited to move forward with planning for Enterprise Search & Discovery Connect 2021. Given the successes and experiences of our previous virtual events, we are now prepared to make Enterprise Search & Discovery Connect 2021 our best virtual conference ever. The virtual conference will be held, as scheduled, the week of November 16 - 18, 2021.
Enterprise Search & Discovery Connect 2021 will offer 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 18th 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.
Full program, registration, and sponsorship information is available on our virtual event website.
