Next week marks the kick-off of several upcoming events for hakia, beginning with Search Engine Strategies (SES) in San Jose. As the technology world begins it’s Fall tradeshow extravaganza, we too are gearing up to showcase some of our own considerable progress as we continue to work towards finishing development of the hakia search engine.

This Monday, hakia’s Chief Architect, Kartal Guner, will speak on a panel entitled “Semantic Search: How will it change our lives?” Along with other distinguished colleagues in search, Kartal will discuss hakia’s QDEX technology and the implications of semantics for the future at search. If you plan to attend SES, we strongly encourage you to stop by at the panel on Monday at 11:15 a.m. PT.

Also in September, hakia’s Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Christian Hempelmann will travel to Vienna, Austria to deliver a speech on the “Doing Semantic Internet Search Semantically,” at the European Semantic Technology Conference. Christian will provide a general overview of our OntoSem capabilities, as well as discuss the key issues facing Web search today. Down the road in October, hakia will exhibit at SMX East, right here in our backyard of New York City. Stay tuned for more details and exciting news about our booth presence at this particular event!

All three events promise to deliver valuable insight into the business aspects of search, an area in which we are working diligently, particularly through the availability of our technology licensing program and Syndication Web Services. We’re looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting new search fanatics, from the West Coast to Europe.
