Search is changing — fast. Between Google’s AI Overviews, TikTok search, ChatGPT answers, and social discovery, the old “just rank on Google” mindset doesn’t cut it anymore.
Enter James Hunt, a digital nomad, WordPress developer, and marketing pro who’s been living the SEO life on the front lines.
In his session,
The State of Search: SEO in the Age of AI
James will unpack how search is evolving and what creators, developers, and business owners can do to stay visible in 2026 and beyond.
Get ready to explore:
- Real-world traffic data showing where users actually discover content today
- Actionable SEO tactics that still work (and a few that don’t anymore)
- How to optimize for AI-powered discovery tools and chat-based search
“SEO isn’t dying — it’s evolving,” says James. “If you understand how AI changes the game, you can stay ahead of the curve instead of chasing it.”
James isn’t just theory — he’s living it. Based in Malaysia but truly global, he’s a professional WordPress developer, experienced marketer, and host of the Chiang Mai WordPress Meetup, where he’s spent the last year giving in-depth, 1–2 hour sessions on everything from SEO to content strategy.
Beyond WordPress, James has led marketing teams for successful startups, built online businesses, and even ran one of the world’s best internet radio stations . His journey as a digital nomad has been featured in Fast Company, Huffington Post, and The Bangkok Post, and he continues to share insights with a global community of 100,000+ nomads and remote workers.
