We're excited to introduce another speaker in this year's OctoPRfest lineup! 🍂

Linda Zebian is the VP of Communications at Muck Rack. She's leading the session titled "What Is AI Reading?" at this year's conference.

AI platforms are becoming a new layer of brand discovery, but the sources shaping those answers are still largely misunderstood. Drawing on an analysis of more than 25 million citations, Linda will share findings from the third edition of Generative Pulse's landmark "What Is AI Reading?" research to show how AI platforms cite sources, why earned media matters, and what brands can do to build visibility in AI-generated answers.
