          Conference Description<\/h5>\r\n\r\n

          Pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e par Les Elles de la construction, cette conf\u00e9rence met en lumi\u00e8re l'apport concret des femmes et des \u00e9quipes diversifi\u00e9es dans l'industrie du b\u00e2timent, du design et de la construction. Depuis plus de 13 ans, Les Elles de la construction soutiennent la reconnaissance, le d\u00e9veloppement professionnel et le rayonnement des femmes dans une industrie encore largement masculine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

          Dans les projets de design, la qualit\u00e9 des espaces livr\u00e9s d\u00e9pend autant de la richesse des \u00e9changes au sein de l'\u00e9quipe que du talent individuel de ses membres. Lorsque des professionnels aux profils compl\u00e9mentaires travaillent ensemble, ils mobilisent une gamme plus large de r\u00e9f\u00e9rences, d'exp\u00e9riences et de sensibilit\u00e9s, ce qui se traduit concr\u00e8tement par une meilleure cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9, une r\u00e9solution de probl\u00e8mes plus efficace et une plus grande ad\u00e9quation aux besoins r\u00e9els des occupants.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

          \u00c0 travers des exemples tir\u00e9s de leur pratique, Judive Jean-Gilles et Florence Morin-Laurin illustrent comment la diversit\u00e9 des profils, des r\u00f4les et des points de vue influence directement les d\u00e9cisions de conception et la performance globale des projets. Leur propos s'appuie sur des situations concr\u00e8tes o\u00f9 un regard diff\u00e9rent a permis d'identifier un enjeu, de d\u00e9samorcer un angle mort ou d'ouvrir une avenue cr\u00e9ative inattendue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

            Conference Description<\/h5>\r\n\r\n

            Your clients no longer search the way they used to: they ask a question and receive an answer written by artificial intelligence that decides which brands to cite and which to ignore. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews no longer simply return ten blue links\u2014they compose the answer. In this new landscape, ranking well is no longer enough: you need to be understood, cited and recommended by the machine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

            This presentation explores Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), an emerging discipline that determines a brand\u2019s visibility in answer engines. From information structure and visual hierarchy to trust signals, we will examine how seemingly minor design decisions directly influence your presence in AI-generated answers. The goal: leave with a clear understanding of the practical, often overlooked levers that separate a cited brand from an invisible one.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n
