@ 09:00 - 19:00
The preparations have officially started. For the 14th edition, we’re bringing the international search community together at the Kromhouthal in Amsterdam for a full day dedicated to the latest developments in SEO and PPC.
Search is changing fast. AI is transforming how people discover brands, how campaigns are managed and how results are measured. At Friends of Search 2027, we’ll bring together leading international experts to help you understand what these changes mean for your search strategy and what you can do about them.
For now: save the date. We hope to see you in Amsterdam on 11 March 2027.
