AI, voice search, and digital assistants are fundamentally changing the way consumers interact with businesses. This is the crux of search today. At Yext on Tour 2017, we're heading to cities around the world to explore how the digital knowledge about your business's people, places, and products can provide a strong foundation for your brand and help you be a leader in the age of intelligent services.
