GEO Gets Its Second Industry Gathering
Shenzhen hosts the practitioners now arguing less about whether to do GEO than about how to prove it worked.
The second GEO Industry Forum will run in Shenzhen’s Bao’an district on 21 and 22 November 2026 under the theme of getting good brands recommended correctly by AI. Organisers expect more than 30 speakers across 20-plus sessions, two panel discussions and two hands-on workshops, drawing media, AI firms, service providers, brands and teams selling overseas. The framing has shifted: with generative AI users in China past 700 million, the open questions are which sources AI trusts, whether answers stay consistent across platforms, and how to trace a citation back to its origin.
