September 14โ€“18, 2026The St. Regis Shenzhen + MGM Shenzhen

50+ Practitioners.One Stage.

Every speaker has shipped real work. No theorists. No professional keynoters.

2026 Lineup

Each speaker is vetted for three things: a real case study, one concrete tactic attendees can run Monday morning, and willingness to take hard questions from the floor.

What Speakers Get Here, They Don't Get Elsewhere.

Most SEO conferences hand you a name badge and a slot. This one is built around the speakers.

Full Logistics, Handled.

Full Logistics, Handled.

Invitation letters, airport pick-up and drop-off, hotel bookings. You land and focus on the talk and networking.

1 Full Day of Guided Shenzhen.

1 Full Day of Guided Shenzhen.

Huaqiangbei, Nantou walled city, tech companies, the bay, the factories. Not a tourist loop โ€” the working city.

A Chinese Audience You Won't Find at Brighton or Pubcon.

A Chinese Audience You Won't Find at Brighton or Pubcon.

300+ in-house SEO decision makers from brands going global. They don't travel to London or San Diego.

Speakers Talk, Then They Stay.

Speakers Talk, Then They Stay.

Most stay through the week. The actual conversations happen on Day 1, 2 and 5 (after the stage).

The clearest business ROI of any conference I have attended. I should have tapped this market years ago.

Mike Dee2025 Speaker

There are very few opportunities for Western and Chinese SEOs to be in the same room in real life. This one is unique.

Zack Franklin2025 Speaker

I got to tour around a little bit and it kind of reminded me, this is like the US. Super developed. Very quiet, very organized.

Stewart Vickers (SEO Jesus)2025 Speaker
How We Pick Speakers

What We Look For. What We Don't.

Being on this stage is not a favor. It's a filter.

What We Look For
1
Organic Growth Insights
Grounded, forward-looking perspectives on international search and cross-border digital ecosystems.
2
Results-Driven Tactics
Practical frameworks rooted in real-world execution, backed by technical workflows and data.
3
Sharing, Not Selling
An open-playbook approach focused on revealing your best strategic breakthroughs without holding back.
4
Full-Week Immersion
Immerse yourself in the community building genuine relationships rather than dropping in for a flight.
What We Don't Want
  • 1.
    Theorists without DataHigh-level commentary, subjective opinions, or basic trend pieces that senior SEOs already know.
  • 2.
    Recycled or AI DecksPre-packaged circuit talks or surface-level, AI-generated presentations lacking original human insight.
  • 3.
    Disguised Sales PitchesCommercial calls-to-action, service offers, or product pitches hidden inside educational slots.
  • 4.
    Closed-Minded MindsetsCynicism toward East-West collaboration or a lack of genuine curiosity to explore the region.
