Meeting Description:
Search Solutions is a special one-day event dedicated to the latest innovations in search and information retrieval. In contrast to other major industry events, Search Solutions aims to be highly interactive, with attendance strictly limited.
The programme includes presentations, panels and keynote talks by influential industry leaders on novel and emerging applications in search and information retrieval. There has traditionally been a strong focus on approaches that combine natural language processing and information retrieval.
Search Solutions also includes a Tutorial Programme on Tuesday 29th November. This year's event will also include the awards ceremony for the winners of the 2016 IRSG Search Industry Awards.
As in previous years we again offer a number of student fee waivers.
