He'll discuss the implications of blended search (Search 3.0), personalized and social search (Search 4.0), and what's next for search and search marketing technologies.

Participants will also get some hints about new search technologies in the works at Cuill, a stealth search start-up with former Googlers as founders. During the February 27 keynote conversation, Cuill Vice president of products Louis Monier will describe efforts at Cuill to set new standards in search, in addition to providing perspective on developments in the field.

The day-three keynote will be "Generation Next: Search In The Coming Decade", a panel discussion with luminaries from the major search engines predicting where they see search headed. This session will be moderated by SearchEngineLand's Chris Sherman and SEMPO Chairperson Gord Hotchkiss.
