Edge of Search values

The north star we built it around.

When we launched Edge of Search, a few values mattered more than anything. They still guide every line-up we put on the stage.

01

A spotlight on Australian professionals

There is incredible international talent, but we focus on the Australian market and the home-grown talent shaping it.

02

Headhunting people who care about search

We hand-pick the speakers you see on stage: standout practitioners who have something real to say and want to share it.

03

Opportunity and support for new speakers

Experience on stage is not a requirement. We back working professionals who embody the Edge of Search message.
