Notable Speakers: Glen Coates (OpenAI), Vanessa Thompson (Twilio), Tim Sanders (G2), Ethan Smith (Graphite), Rob Gaige (Reddit), Guy Yalif (Webflow), Kady Srinivasan (Freshworks)
AEO Conf is where the magic happens: marketing leaders from top companies gathering to share actual playbooks (not just theory!) for winning visibility when AI answers questions.
If, for example, you want to know how Webflow doubled their signups from LLMs, this is your chance to hear it straight from them.
Notable Speakers: Neil Patel (NP Digital), Si Quan Ong (Ahrefs), Dawn Anderson (Berley), Itamar Blauer (Whitepress), Olivier Duffez (Ranking Metrics), Mikaël Priol (SEO.fr)
France’s biggest SEO & GEO event is now in its most ambitious edition yet, held at the legendary Parc des Princes stadium in Paris.
This is where France’s top SEO minds gather to tackle the massive shift from traditional search to AI-powered discovery.
The tagline says it all: brands need to master both advanced SEO and GEO to exist across all channels.
With 25+ conference sessions across 3 tracks, a full-day intensive Masterclass, an exclusive Seine cruise networking party, and the option to stay on an actual floating hotel (OFF Paris Seine), this is as premium as French SEO conferences get.
Plus, I’ll be speaking at the event! So come say hi if you’re there.
Notable Speakers: Patrick Stox (Ahrefs), Kevin Indig, Brodie Clark, Aleyda Solis, Destiny Flaherty
Australia’s biggest SEO party, now in its 7th year. The speaker lineup reads like an SEO all-star team: Aleyda Solis, Patrick Stox, Kevin Indig, the works.
They’ve got dedicated sessions on making your content “LLM-ready” and understanding how AI is reshaping organic growth. Sydney in March is also wildly pleasant, just saying.
Notable Speakers: David White, Chris Kubby, Felix Beilharz, Martin Greif
International, AI-first marketing conference in beautiful Lisbon. The whole vibe here is “how do we make our brands LLM-ready?”
Meaning, how do you get ChatGPT and Gemini to recommend you? Great mix of strategy and execution, plus you get to eat pastéis de nata between sessions.
Notable Speakers: Michael King (iPullRank), Crystal Carter (Wix), Wil Reynolds (Seer Interactive), Ross Simmonds (Foundation), Jori Ford (FoodBoss)
Four immersive days in NYC organized by iPullRank, and widely regarded as the premier AI+SEO conference.
Each day has its own theme, from technical foundations to user psychology to future trends. The final day (“The Future”) is all about GEO/AEO and what’s coming next. Michael King’s “Brave New World of SEO” keynote alone is worth the price of admission.
40+ speakers, including a Principal PM from Microsoft AI talking about how search engines actually work under the hood.
Notable Speakers: Chima Mmeje (Moz), Gus Pelogia (Indeed), Dan Taylor (SALT), Priya Verma (Compare the Market)
The absolute biggest search marketing conference on the planet. Two full days of talks from world-leading experts, and this year they’re going hard on how AI search engines are changing everything.
Sessions on “SEO and AI Agents,” automation, and how ChatGPT/Perplexity are reshaping the fundamentals. There’s also a free ticket ballot if you’re lucky.
Notable Speakers: Tim Soulo (Ahrefs), Sasha Gusain (Canva), Robert Lai (Kaliber), Charlotte Ang (Traffic Bees), Dan Petrovic (DEJAN), James Norquay (Prosperity Media)
Think of this as Ahrefs Evolve’s more intimate Asian gathering—same quality insights, more relaxed vibe.
We bring together a tight-knit community of SEO pros and marketers who genuinely want to figure out how to stay visible when AI is changing everything about search. Singapore’s an amazing city to network in (incredible food scene doesn’t hurt), and the conversations here tend to be refreshingly direct. You’ll walk away with practical strategies for AI search discoverability, not just theoretical frameworks.
Plus, it’s significantly more accessible price-wise than flying to San Diego.
Notable Speakers: Bruno Estrella (Clay), Sonal Mane (Databricks), Vanessa Thompson (Twilio), Katie Peters (SauceLabs)
San Francisco’s answer to “what happens when AI meets marketing at scale?”
This is being billed as the largest AI + Marketing conference in SF, and they’re tackling the hard questions: How do you measure attribution when there are no clicks? How do AEO and GEO actually work? How do you build demand in a world where AI answers questions before users visit your site?
Notable Speakers: TBA
The self-proclaimed official GEO conference, and honestly? We can give it to them. 20+ talks across two tracks (one for marketers, one for the technical crowd), limited to just 200 people so you actually get to network without fighting through crowds.
Oh, and no recordings allowed, so you have to be in the room. The goodie bag is legendary ($25K+ in tools and credits), and there’s a sunset yacht party on the Potomac afterward. If you’re serious about GEO, this is your Super Bowl.
Notable Speakers: Lily Ray (Amsive), Josh Spilker (AirOps), Wil Reynolds (Seer Interactive), Bianca Anderson (hims, hers)
Moz’s flagship single-day conference in NYC: one track, 20+ speakers, about 600 people who all genuinely care about SEO. Last year’s MozCon featured Lily Ray’s legendary session “GEO, AEO, LLMO: Separating Fact from Fiction,” which basically everyone in the industry references now.
This year’s call for speakers explicitly asked for talks on AI search visibility and building AI workflows. Focused, high-signal content without the overwhelming mega-conference chaos.
Notable Speakers: Andy Crestodina (Orbit Media Studios), Brie E Anderson (BEAST Analytics), Chantal Maddocks (United Airlines), Chris Long (Nectiv), Cindy Krum (MobileMoxie)
BrightonSEO crosses the pond! This is the US edition of the world’s biggest search conference, bringing all that brightonSEO energy to San Diego.
Focus on AI-powered search, what’s happening with Google’s AI Overviews, and practical technical SEO. Workshops available if you want hands-on learning. Plus, San Diego in September is pretty much perfect weather.
Notable Speakers: TBA
This is HubSpot’s massive flagship conference. one of the biggest marketing, sales, and CX gatherings on the planet.
INBOUND 2025 had a major AEO session and actually launched AEO content tools through HubSpot’s Breeze AI platform, so 2026 is expected to go even deeper on AI agents, AI-driven personalization, and optimizing for AI search.
If you work in inbound marketing and haven’t been to INBOUND yet, what are you even doing?
