Friends of Search

De Kromhouthal

Gedempt Hamerkanaal 231, Amsterdam

11 maart 2027

@ 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. 

Programma

The programme is still taking shape, but we can already give you a first look at some of the topics that will define Friends of Search 2027. 

PPC topics  

  • AI & Automation 
    Where does AI add value to your PPC workflow, and when are scripts still the smarter choice? 
  • Advertising in the AI Era 
    From ChatGPT Ads to new AI-driven advertising formats: what happens when search and advertising move into AI environments? 
  • Agentic Commerce 
    What happens to ecommerce and paid search when AI agents increasingly search, compare and purchase on behalf of consumers? 
  • Measurement & Tracking 
    How do you build reliable measurement as third-party cookies disappear and server-side tracking becomes increasingly important? 

SEO topics 

  • AI Search & LLM Optimisation 
    How do you make sure your brand and content remain visible when discovery increasingly happens through LLMs and AI-generated answers? 
  • SEO in a Zero-Click World 
    What does an effective SEO strategy look like when visibility no longer automatically results in website traffic? 
  • Measuring AI Search 
    Rankings and clicks no longer tell the whole story. Which metrics help us understand performance in AI search?
