Explore how AI-generated answers are reshaping SEO and website discovery at WordPress Cambridge’s online meetup on 12 October 2026.
As search engines increasingly answer questions directly, what will persuade prospects to discover, trust and visit your website? Hosted by Simon B. and Chris C. for the Cambridge WordPress community, this Zoom session will examine how AI search could affect organic traffic, and what website owners, designers and developers can do in response.
What will be discussed?
Rather than delivering a fixed presentation, the hosts will briefly introduce the issue before opening the floor to questions, ideas and practical contributions. The direction will depend on the attendees, with potential topics including:
Which types of website may lose traffic as AI-generated answers become more common, and which could benefit
How to make web pages useful and credible enough to serve as sources for AI answers
Whether sites should target detailed, specific questions, such as choosing a WordPress booking system for a small Cambridge salon
The value of running surveys to produce distinctive statistics and original information
How AI maps relationships between entities such as people, places, concepts and products, and whether this offers clues for future SEO strategy
Attendees are encouraged to propose solutions, ask questions and share their screens where useful. There is no designated expert speaker: the value comes from an open exchange of experiences, experiments and real-world approaches.
Format and schedule
The online meeting runs from 7:00pm to 9:00pm UK time on Monday 12 October 2026:
7:00pm: Quick hellos and 10-second introductions to each attendee’s WordPress journey
7:15pm: Open discussion, live Q&A and attendee contributions
8:30pm: Brainstorming for the following month’s topic

Sessions cover enterprise-scale agent deployment, single-agent workflows, multi-agent orchestration, reasoning and planning architectures, memory and context systems, and AI assistants that autonomously execute complex workflows. Physical AI examines embodied intelligence moving from datacenters into the real world. Expect deep dives into robotics, edge AI deployment, autonomous drones, AI-powered prosthetics, manufacturing automation, and the next generation of human-machine collaboration in logistics and defense applications. Sovereign AI addresses national AI infrastructure, data sovereignty, and the geopolitics of autonomous systems. Topics include how governments and enterprises build AI capability they control, critical infrastructure protection, defense AI applications, and national AI policy frameworks. World-Class Speaker Lineup 75+ speakers represent the builders actually deploying agentic systems at scale. The lineup spans enterprise AI leaders from Cox Communications, McKesson, and Navy Federal Credit Union; government innovators from the U.S. Department of the Navy and Library of Congress; media AI pioneers from USA TODAY; and founders driving the agentic revolution forward. Every speaker brings real-world deployment experience — no theoretical talks, just practical insights from the trenches. Comprehensive Topic Coverage The program addresses 54 distinct categories across core AI infrastructure, security and trust, developer tools, workforce transformation, and emerging applications. Technical sessions cover coding agents, vector databases, foundation models, orchestration frameworks like OpenClaw, observability and monitoring, model deployment, and guardrails for safe AI operation. Developer-focused content explores SDKs and APIs for building agentic systems, testing and evaluation frameworks, multimodal AI implementations,

Governing Algorithms for Care brings together researchers, healthcare professionals, legal scholars, and technologists for two intensive days examining how AI is reshaping healthcare delivery — and how we can ensure these powerful systems serve patients responsibly. As algorithms increasingly influence diagnoses, treatment recommendations, and care pathways, fundamental questions around fairness, accountability, and patient autonomy demand urgent attention. This interdisciplinary conference addresses the complex governance challenges at the intersection of AI, medicine, law, and ethics. Whether you're developing medical AI systems, shaping healthcare policy, or advocating for patient rights, you'll find sessions tackling the practical and philosophical questions that matter most in this rapidly evolving field. What to Expect The programme spans presentations, workshops, and panel discussions exploring how AI in healthcare can be regulated, designed, and deployed to protect fundamental rights while enabling innovation. Expect rigorous academic insights alongside practice-oriented case studies from those implementing these technologies in clinical settings. Core themes include: - Health equity and fairness — addressing algorithmic bias and ensuring AI benefits all patient populations - AI regulation and compliance — navigating emerging legal frameworks and standards - Data protection, accountability, and liability — understanding who is responsible when AI systems make mistakes - Ethical design in medical technologies — building values into algorithms from the ground up - Patients' rights in AI-driven care — preserving autonomy, informed consent, and transparency Who Should Attend This conference welcomes contributions from across disciplines. Legal researchers examining healthcare regulation, medical practitioners integrating AI into clinical workflows, ethicists concerned with algorithmic fairness, and technologists building healthcare systems will all find relevant sessions and valuable networking opportunities. The organisers explicitly encourage interdisciplinary and practice-oriented contributions, recognising that governance of healthcare AI requires dialogue between law, medicine, ethics, and technology. If you're working at any of these intersections, this conference offers a rare opportunity to engage with others tackling similar challenges from different perspectives. Submit Your Research The
Explore the environmental, social and economic cost of AI in a hands-on World AI Week workshop in Amsterdam on 5 October 2026. Part of World AI Week 2026, this practical four-hour session looks beyond AI hype and productivity gains to ask a more difficult question: what does using AI actually cost? Attendees will examine the energy, water, data, governance and social consequences behind AI systems, and learn how to make more informed decisions when building or using AI products at work. What to expect Rather than framing responsible AI as an abstract debate, the workshop combines awareness-building, practical examples and a hands-on building exercise. It is designed to help participants understand the systems they rely on without making them feel guilty for using AI. During the session, you will: - Develop a clearer picture of AI’s environmental, social and economic costs - Explore simple tracking tools, comparisons and discussion prompts that make AI usage more tangible - Learn to use AI more efficiently, including the practical skill of context-window management - Build a solution during the hands-on portion of the workshop - Leave with approaches you can continue applying and share within your organisation The exact programme will be announced closer to the event. Pizza and drinks will be provided, creating space to continue the discussion and meet others interested in responsible AI, sustainability and practical product building. Who is it for? The workshop takes an accessible, practical approach and is relevant to people who use or build with AI and want to understand its wider impact. This is a “ladies first” event: everyone is welcome, but women will receive priority to attend. The event is organised by Marta from Ladies Build With AI, a community helping women gain practical AI skills by building real-world projects, together with Madalina Buzdugan, a sustainability director who helps fast-growing companies turn sustainability and AI from buzzwords into strategy.
