AI search is changing that. AI Overviews are reducing click-through from search results pages, zero-click queries are answering intent without sending anyone anywhere, and the overlap between top Google results and AI-cited sources has dropped below 20%.</p> <p class="gn-reveal">The visitors who do arrive are fewer in number and higher in intent than before. Most websites are not built to make the most of either reality.</p> <p class="gn-reveal">This session brings together UX, web development, and digital strategy specialists to examine what a brand website needs to do differently in 2026, from first-party data capture to conversion design to AI search readiness.</p> <h2 class="gn-reveal">Who Should Attend</h2> <p class="gn-reveal">If you are responsible for digital strategy, web development, conversion, or first-party data capture, or if you are briefing or buying an agency for any of those, this session will give you a practical view of where the priorities are shifting.</p> <div class="gn-divider gn-reveal" aria-hidden="true"></div> <div class="gn-speakers gn-reveal"> <h3 class="gn-speakers__title">Panel</h3> <div class="gn-speakers__grid"> <div class="gn-speaker"> <img class="gn-speaker__avatar" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6877701b88030d58f11ac053/6a26f11158fc587fa91de96c_ranzie-anthony.jpg" alt="Ranzie Anthony"> <div class="gn-speaker__info"> <span class="gn-speaker__name">Ranzie Anthony</span> <span class="gn-speaker__role">CEO · Athlon</span> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ranzie/" class="gn-speaker__link" target="_blank">LinkedIn →</a> </div> </div> <div class="gn-speaker"> <img class="gn-speaker__avatar" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6877701b88030d58f11ac053/6a4631e334ee32268f5f3034_jason-coppin.png" alt="Jason Coppin"> <div class="gn-speaker__info"> <span class="gn-speaker__name">Jason Coppin</span> <span class="gn-speaker__role">CEO · Timberyard</span> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasoncoppin/" class="gn-speaker__link" target="_blank">LinkedIn →</a> </div> </div> <div class="gn-speaker"> <img class="gn-speaker__avatar" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6877701b88030d58f11ac053/6a26f111bb3be958ce1878ba_osh-rice.jpg" alt="Osh Rice"> <div class="gn-speaker__info"> <span class="gn-speaker__name">Osh Rice</span> <span class="gn-speaker__role">MD · Future Group</span> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/oshrice/" class="gn-speaker__link" target="_blank">LinkedIn →</a> </div> </div> <div class="gn-speaker"> <img class="gn-speaker__avatar" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6877701b88030d58f11ac053/6a4631e473bfe74eaf2ac19d_rob-hughes.jpg" alt="Rob Hughes"> <div class="gn-speaker__info"> <span class="gn-speaker__name">Rob Hughes</span> <span class="gn-speaker__role">Founder & MD · Reech</span> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/robatreech/" class="gn-speaker__link" target="_blank">LinkedIn →</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="gn-divider gn-reveal" aria-hidden="true"></div> <div class="gn-reveal" data-rt-embed-type='true'> <details class="go-acc"> <summary> <span>How AI search is changing where traffic comes from, and what that means for website priorities</span> <span class="go-chevron">▶</span> </summary> <div class="go-acc-content"> <div class="go-acc-inner"> AI Overviews, zero-click queries, and the breakdown between top Google results and AI-cited sources are reshaping the volume and intent profile of website traffic.
