The continuing rise of voice search is staggering. There are 1.6 billion digital assistants in use; there are more than 1 billion voice searches every month; and half of all searches will be voice by 2020.

But what’s happening behind the numbers? At The Gathering, DAC’s ever-curious Nasser Sahlool will reveal all. His partner session, How Voice Search is Changing Everything, will:

• Cover the speed with which voice-activated technology is becoming ubiquitous
• Address what you need to do today in order to stand out in this disrupted landscape
• Illustrate what a best-in-class digital ecosystem looks like for the voice revolution

If you’re lucky enough to be in attendance at The Gathering, make sure you don’t miss Nasser’s talk at 9 a.m. on Thursday.

If not, don’t worry: we’ll continue to lead the discussion and help you understand your brand’s potential in voice, covering everything from the technicalities of voice user interface (VUI) to the building blocks for a local-first voice search strategy.
