AEO Trailblazer Awards by Conductor

Nominate an AEO Trailblazer

The AEO Trailblazer Awards recognize marketers who are leading the way in applying AEO in meaningful, measurable ways, turning strategy into impact.

About the award

As AI-powered answer engines reshape how people discover information, AEO is quickly moving from experimentation to execution. While much of the market is still trying to define what AEO is, some are already operationalizing it—driving impact, building internal momentum, and setting the bar for success.

Any marketer or team actively applying AEO and demonstrating meaningful execution or impact. Self-nominations are welcome.

Nominations can be submitted by Conductor customers, employees, partners, or internal teams with visibility into the nominee’s AEO efforts.

The nomination window is open February 11–27, 2026.

Complete the nomination form below with context on why the individual or team deserves recognition.

All nominations are reviewed after the window closes. A limited group of AEO Trailblazers will be selected and notified ahead of the public announcement in mid-March.
