Feb 26-27, 2027 · New Delhi, India
Beyond Search Summit
A new global gathering for the Search and AI community.
The premise
Search has moved past the page.
For two decades, SEO meant ten blue links. Today the answer is assembled and served before anyone clicks. The work did not disappear. It moved, and so must we.
AI Overviews & Generative Engines
From Google's AI Mode to ChatGPT to Perplexity, the answer layer is the new front page. Visibility now means citation, not ranking.
Agentic Discovery
Agents don't browse. They retrieve and act. Optimizing for autonomous systems is already its own discipline.
Local & Vertical Intelligence
Maps, voice, social, and platform-native search are reshaping intent at the edge. The local SERP is now ten different SERPs.
Automation & Agentic Workflows
The same shift, pointed inward. Audits, reporting and content operations are moving to agents, and the teams that made that move are pulling ahead.
The line-up
Speakers announcing soon.
We are bringing together the people building, testing and leading what comes next in search. This is what they will be talking about.

Book before the names land.
The founding twenty are the lowest price this conference will ever be, and they go first.
The programme
Built for the new shape of search.
One room, one stage
Every session happens on a single stage. No parallel tracks to pick between, so the whole room stays in the same conversation across both days.
Hands-on AI search lab
A dedicated workshop space for live-running prompts, citation audits, and entity probes against the major AI engines.
The Beyond Search Awards
The first awards in the region dedicated to AI search, generative visibility, and the new playbooks being written around them. Six categories, judged by the Advisory Board.
Global voices, Indian stage
Speakers from around the world, in the same room as the people building India's search market.
Curated networking
Pre-scheduled introductions, small dinners, and group sessions, so you actually meet the people you came to meet.
A single bar for every talk
Every session is reviewed by the Advisory Board against one question: would someone doing this work learn something new? Vendor pitches don't clear it.
The room
Who you will meet.
A mix of decision makers, practitioners and builders across search, AI and digital marketing.
01
Agency founders and leaders
02
In-house SEO and growth teams
03
CMOs and marketing heads
04
AI practitioners and product builders
05
SaaS and technology companies
06

The advisory board
The people the field listens to.
Guided by experienced voices from across search, AI, marketing and technology. They set the agenda and decide what earns a place on the Beyond Search stage.
More than the stage
The Beyond Experience.
The summit is built around more than sessions. From the dinner and the awards to the conversations in between, the parts away from the stage are where most of the value ends up.
VIP Speaker Dinner
VIP ticketThursday 25 February, the evening before the summit opens, with the speakers, partners and organisers. Included with a VIP ticket.
Two days on one stage
All ticketsEvery session in front of the full room, with no parallel tracks to choose between.
The Beyond Search Awards
All ticketsSix categories judged by the Advisory Board, announced on the closing night.
Community networking
All ticketsLunches and dinners run through both days, so there is time to meet people properly.
Call for speakers
Got something new to say?
We're looking for practitioners, founders, and researchers with sharp, original perspectives on where search is going next. First-time speakers welcome. We care about the work, not the speaking circuit.
