This video captures highlights from the SMX conference, where industry leaders gathered to discuss the evolving landscape of SEO and artificial intelligence. A significant portion of the event focused on the future of search, specifically exploring "AI mode" and new products like AI MAX.

Additionally, Olivier was honored as the Search Personality of the Year. He expressed his gratitude for the community, noting that his primary motivation is sharing knowledge and collaborating with others to refine and expand upon new ideas.
