AEO Blitz: 8 Plays That Move Rankings

October 23, 2026, 12:00 PM ET

Eight B2B marketers each break down one AEO play they ran recently: what they changed, how they measured it, and what moved in AI search. Two-minute hot seats, live Q&A, and you vote for the best play.

AI search is noisy right now, with new tools and a new acronym coming out every few weeks.

But the fundamentals still decide whether you show up at all.

We’re bringing eight B2B marketers to break down one AEO play each.

They’ll show:

  • The latest AEO play they ran
  • What they experimented with recently (page, content, schema, distribution, etc.)
  • How they measured it
  • What moved in AI search (citations, inclusion in AI answers, rankings, referral traffic)

Each speaker gets a two-minute hot seat + live Q&A. Then you get to vote for your favorite AEO play.

Bring your questions. Leave with a play you can run this quarter.
