BrightonSEO has grown over more than fifteen years from a meetup above a pub in Brighton into a global search marketing community with flagship conferences in the UK and US. The San Diego 2026 edition follows the established format, focusing on what is working right now in SEO, content, and wider digital marketing rather than abstract theory. Attendees join a programme that prioritises useful, immediately applicable ideas shared by people actively doing the work.
