Call for Speakers
The Next Frontier for Enterprise Search

Deadline has been extended to May 8

The technologies that enable search and discovery to succeed within the enterprise have changed greatly over the past few decades, as has the explosion in the amount, formats, and languages of internal information assets. AI technologies that help determine query intent, customization of the search process, digital transformation, models for relevance ranking, conversational search, knowledge graphs, and techniques to boost search results all affect findability and navigation as never before. However, the need to know about enhancements, migrations, emerging trends, and management remains constant. If you are involved in enterprise search and discovery, you can contribute to your colleagues’ knowledge and understanding of today’s search world by sharing your stories at Enterprise Search & Discovery 2022.

As we approach the next frontier for enterprise search, the recognition of the importance of the function and its impact on the future of the enterprise and its employees cannot be downplayed. Not only do people need correct answers to their questions, they need them quickly. Newer technologies can deliver on this requirement. The new hybrid work environments result in altered workflows so that enhanced search and discovery technologies become imperative. Aligning technology with user needs and behaviors puts people at the center of search.

In this, the 19th year of our Enterprise Search & Discovery conference, we want to explore how you're approaching the next frontier of search and discovery. What have you done that worked, what changes have you made, what technologies have you adopted, what content has become intelligently searchable, what discoveries about justifying search have you made, and how have you adjusted to changing work environments? How are you managing new expectations regarding collaboration, accessibility, bias, and diversity? How is enterprise search in your organizations delivering impactful insights? How are you intelligently implementing (or re-implementing) search?

We seek dynamic speakers who can discuss the technical aspects of enterprise search and discovery as well as the business implications of successful deployments. We are also looking for speakers to present half-day workshops on topics related to enterprise search and discovery.

The audience at Enterprise Search & Discovery is well-informed and tech-savvy. We're looking for speakers who can “wow” this audience with their insights into designing enterprise search and discovery so that it empowers business operations, enhances user experience, and allows workplace innovation to occur. We would like a mix of formal presentations and interactive panel participation. Case studies of search (both internal and customer-facing), social networks, ecommerce, or any combination thereof are particularly welcome. Feel free to suggest something different from the normal conference presentation.
