Meeting Description: 

Search Solutions is a special one-day event dedicated to the latest
innovations in search and information retrieval. In contrast to other major
industry events, Search Solutions aims to be highly interactive, with
attendance strictly limited.

The programme includes presentations, panels and keynote talks by influential
industry leaders on novel and emerging applications in search and information
retrieval. There has traditionally been a strong focus on approaches that
combine natural language processing and information retrieval.

Search Solutions also includes a Tutorial Programme on Tuesday 29th November.
This year's event will also include the awards ceremony for the winners of the
2016 IRSG Search Industry Awards.

As in previous years we again offer a number of student fee waivers.
