What does Garrett speak about?

Every talk is shaped to the room. These are the themes he returns to most — practical, current, and built for people who have to act on what they hear.

The End of the Search Box
AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, the boxed answers that sit above the blue links — are changing how people find brands. This talk shows what is actually happening and what to do about it now, not in two years.
