Brighton SEO

Brighton, you've only gone and done it again.

What an awesome three days of learning, chatting, and eating ice cream you gave us last week.

We're so grateful to everyone who was a part of it.

Our speakers, once again, delivered an amazing set of talks. It was a pleasure to see such positive feedback on social media. If you've been inspired, now would be a great time to pitch us: brightonSEO.com/pitch

We also couldn't have done it without our sponsors, whose support allows us to offer thousands of free tickets each year. Especially loud love to and for being our headline sponsors. Check all of them out at Brightonseo.com/sponsors (and maybe think about being one next time?)

Thanks too to all those who physically make brightonSEO happen: the super squad at ; the AV team; our crew; the freelancers and all the suppliers we work with.

Shout out to our tip top trainers who ran so many superb workshops on Wednesday.

And lastly a huge thank you to everyone who came along, sat, listened, learned, asked questions, joined in, and made the whole thing such a friendly, warm environment.

We'll be back in April, but before then we're off to San Diego. See you there?

One week until (day 2 of) brightonSEO!

This time next week sessions on local and international SEO will be well underway. We'll be gearing up to talks on content creation, personal development accessibility, AI and SO much more.

The event will close with a presentation from the utterly brilliant Professor Hannah Fr.

(Yes, we were supposed to post this yesterday but as it's one of our absolute favourites we decided we could make it work anyway.)

Still a few places left on both of our Netwalking, er, walks, taking place on Wednesday evening and Thursday morning. Sign up (for free) at brightonSEO.com/networking

The brightonSEO schedule is now LIVE

We've squeezed approximately a gazillion talks (actually 132, including the Fringe) into the agenda for September's brightonSEO so whether you're a generalist, specialist, newbie, veteran, freelancer, agency bod, in-house person or *whatever* then there'll be plenty for you to choose from.

We've also done our best to organise them thematically, so if you're into a particular area, subject or scene, you can settle in for a session and shouldn't have to zoom between stages.

Schedule On Wednesday, the lunch break runs from 12:30pm until talks resume at 2pm. The final talks finish around 4:30pm when you can join us for a drinks reception until we kick everyone out by 7pm.

brightonSEO - the world's largest search marketing conference brightonSEO started out, like many a fine idea, as conversation in a pub. The idea was to share ideas and chat about all the interesting stuff that we can’t really talk about with anyone outside the industry for fear of them falling asleep.

Myriam Jessier - + ADHD = 🫶

Although we're keeping most of the talks behind the paywall, a number of people asked us to make a special exception for this one, one of the most important talks from April's .

In this presentation Myriam Jessier discusses how to embrace hyperfocus and see ADHD as a substantial competitive advantage. If you have ADHD, suspect you may or struggle with a diminished attention span...come to laugh, groan and pick up a few tricks to help you along.

When the sun goes down at brightonSEO we've got two words for you: "party time."

After taking in several tracks of talks, many of our attendees like to let their hair down, and we're more than happy to help them with that. Every evening of the conference has something to offer for those of you looking to meet up in a more relaxed environment.

All the events are free to register but you have to book your brightonSEO ticket first. If bars aren't quite your style, we have plenty of other networking opportunities available as well.

On the Wednesday we've got the Lumar party at Patterns, Brighton. Catch up with old SEO friends and make some new ones before the conference gets underway. Reinvigorate after a long day’s travel, let your hair down, and enjoy some tunes

Even better? Grab a drink (ON US!) at the bar and let Lumar help you get the party started with great vibes and great company.

On Thursday it's SEO Karaoke at Concorde 2. Unleash your inner rockstar on stage backed by a live band. Do you need to know your scales? Read music? Or have any singing experience whatsoever? Nope!

We'll also have a post-conference drinks reception at the Brighton Centre. No need to book that one, and we'll have the same on Friday.

Then after all is said and done, we'll be off to Horatio's on the pier for a final wind-down and chinwag.
