Lessons learned from generative AI and machine learning in 2023

Generative AI solutions like ChatGPT burst onto the digital publishing scene at the end of last year. Over the last year, publishers took various steps to either integrate generative AI and ML solutions into their editorial and marketing processes or stood firm on protecting their operations from this new technology. Andrew Kemp will guide the discussion on what we can learn from the experience so far and where the technology is headed.

How to align your editorial strategy for a Search Generative Experience and conversions

The rollout of Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE) is making publishers wonder if that makes Google a publisher now? Does integrating a large language model (LLM) to provide summaries to user queries mean that Google is now in the business of creating content? And what does this mean for publishers? How can they protect their organic traffic numbers and continue to grow their audience? Vahe Arabian will moderate this session, guiding speakers to address these questions and more.

Old is new: Newsletters – audience growth and nurturing your audience in the age of privacy

While email has been one of the most effective ways of reaching and engaging audiences for decades now, this year has seen a fresh wave of interest from publishers on utilizing newsletters to grow and nurture their audience. In the age of first-party data, this is hardly surprising. We will discuss newsletter best practices for publishers in this session. The Q&A session will be moderated by Vahe Arabian.
