Join Empathy, creators of the Ethical Discovery Platform, and search relevance specialists OpenSource Connections for a Search Meetup in Asturias, Spain.

Speakers will be:

• René Kriegler, Director, E-commerce Search at Open Source Connections: A path to understanding and adopting evolving technologies in search : Many search practitioners are currently wondering how they should approach emerging technologies like vector search or AI chatbots. The capabilities of these technologies seem impressive and within the search community there is an increasing sentiment of missing out and falling behind competitors amongst those who don't adopt these technologies. On the other hand, how can a team know if it was worthwhile adopting them and how could they get started?
• Pablo Cañal, Backend Engineer. Empathy.co: Balancing Privacy and Personalization in Search Experiences: Fomenting personalization in search from a privacy-first perspective that balances individual preferences with commercial interests is essential. Building a search experience entails many ethical and social implications, due to the sensitive information involved. So, how can you create an ethically personalized experience that puts privacy first? Join us as we compare and contrast invasive data collection systems versus privacy-first systems that respect consumers, and learn how to create your very own privacy-first search experience.

Food and drinks will be provided.
