About GEO Conference San Francisco 2026
Why it's on AFFMashup: Digital marketing & ad tech. Covers the traffic sources, ad buying and marketing tools that affiliates and media buyers work with. How we choose events
GEO Conference San Francisco returns to the Bay Area on Wednesday 9 December 2026, at Fort Mason Center in the Marina District. It is the series' fifth edition and runs from 9:30am to 3pm, with 150 seats.
The organisers pitch the San Francisco edition as the one closest to the labs shaping how AI search works, and it is a featured event of AI Week in San Francisco. As at every GEO edition, there are no booths and no recordings: what is said stays in the room.
The series started in Austin, and its previous editions in Austin, San Francisco and Washington DC all sold out, according to the organisers. A New York edition runs five days earlier.

A sample of past sessions
The confirmed agenda and speakers are announced a week before the event. Past editions give a good idea of the balance between research, platform and brand talks:
- How AI engines surface content, from Jason Clinton of Anthropic
- How GEO works, with updates from Google, from a senior machine-learning engineer on Gemini
- An actionable playbook for expanding from SEO to GEO, from Guy Yalif of Webflow
- How brands stay visible when AI decides, from Profound
- A panel of agency and professional-services leaders
- Semrush data on what the numbers show about AI search
Why AFFMashup lists it
Affiliate sites depend on being the source an answer engine trusts, and this conference spends a full day on that question, with researchers and platform engineers in the room as well as brand search teams. For affiliates and publishers on the US west coast, San Francisco is the easier of the two December dates, and it coincides with AI Week.
Tickets and prices
Is it worth the spend?
Ticket plus flights and hotel, against the deals you expect to close.
Tickets and the VIP upgrade
Every ticket is an all-access pass. At the time AFFMashup checked, the official site listed $1,200 for a single ticket, $1,100 each for two and $1,050 each for three or more, plus a $150 per-badge VIP upgrade for priority seating and the VIP reception. The organisers have scheduled a further $100 rise for the start of December.
Entry needs a paid registration, seats go first come, first served, and badges are collected at check-in with a photo ID.
