HBA DIGITAL INNOVATORS AFFINITY GROUP AND HBA GLOBAL PRESENT

From SEO to GEO: What Healthcare and Life Sciences Should Know (Part 1)

Developments in artificial intelligence are changing how people discover and engage with information online. Together with our speaker Toby O’Brien, CEO at Dissent, join us as we explore the evolution of search engine optimization (SEO) to generative engine optimization (GEO), and what this means for life sciences and healthcare.

Building from an understanding of SEO’s essential role in organizational digital strategy, we’ll follow the recent emergence of AI-driven GEO. Through practical examples, participants will uncover what this transition means for our industry and our work. If you engage with audiences – of any kind – in online channels, you’ll want to join this educational webinar. The presentation and group discussion will also preview the series’ second program, coming in early December: GEO’s increasing relevance, how it impacts communications and engagement strategies in this era of rapid change, and what life sciences organizations should be addressing now.

The HBA Digital Innovators Affinity Group looks forward to seeing you at this virtual educational event, the first in a two-part series. We warmly invite participation from HBA Members and non-Members alike. We're committed to making “digital” accessible, providing a collaborative and interactive experience, sharing resources, and connecting those who are passionate about digital ecosystems in healthcare.

Learning Objectives

  1. Distinguish key features of the AI-driven evolution from search to generative engine optimization
