Keynote Speakers and Agenda for Virtual Activate 2021
This year’s keynote and guest speakers focus on connected experiences and the human side of digital transformation.
At Lucidworks, we’re committed to creating shared, human-centric digital experiences that deliver meaning in the moment.
That’s why this year’s Activate conference, taking place October 14th, will focus on how technology can be used to create connected experiences through search relevance, AI, machine learning, data science, next-gen user interfaces, digital commerce, digital workplace, and cloud infrastructure.
For the uninitiated, Activate brings together search experts, data scientists, ecommerce leaders, IT professionals, and other innovators using search and AI to deliver relevant digital experiences for employees and customers.
