How it all started
Once upon a time, I decided it would be cool to get
a group of SEO mates together in a pub to talk
shop.
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.
Word got out and more people showed up than we
expected. So, next time we booked a larger room…
again, more and more people showed up.

We realised we might be onto something
A free industry conference, talking about real issues, with
practical advice from people who actually know what they’re
talking about. brightonSEO was born.
Since then we have seen the conference continue to grow into
the beautiful, if scarily large, thing we have today.
Taking place at Brighton Centre, we now have over 3,500
delegates scrabbling for tickets from all over the UK and further
afield.
Of all the Search conferences in the UK & Europe, we reckon it’s
biggest and also the most fun (but then we would say that
wouldn’t we).

Branching Out
With such a high demand for tickets we decided to
branch out.
2012 saw the launch of the Content Marketing Show
in London (now sold to the Content Marketing
Institute) and in 2013 we launched MeasureFest
followed by Biddable World, Completely Email and
Affiliate Huddle in 2014.
Most of our conferences are free to attend, with an
option of paid training workshops the day before (for
those that really want to get their hands dirty).

What makes out events special
We’re about having fun, about being real, and, most
importantly, educating as many people as possible
on the ever expanding, fast-paced industry that is
Digital Marketing.
If we had to sum our mission up in one sentence we
say “Helping Digital Marketers meet, learn and do
their job a little better”

If you’re trying to persuade people to
do something, or buy something, it
seems to me you should use their
language, the language they use every
day, the language in which they think.
We try to write in the vernacular.
