Are there any good online marketing conferences that are free?

Yes, there are free online marketing conferences, but they are mostly meetups, barcamps, and individual webinars that are offered for free. Examples of recommended free events include: the SMX Next conference, the B2B Marketing Expo in the US which is held in two locations, the OMT Club Meetup series, the Sistrix Digital Marketing Meetup and the various »Measure Camp« barcamps around the world.

Are there any good SEO conferences that are free?

Yes, there are free SEO conferences, but as with online marketing, it is mainly the smaller meetups, barcamps, and individual webinars that are offered for free. Examples of free SEO events include the mindshape SEO meetup »SEO&friends« in Cologne, the 1-day pass options from BrightonSEO , the SEO webinars from OMT , the regular webinars from Conductor , the SEO strategy seminar series from Sistrix , and again, a good portion of SMX Next .

What are some the largest online marketing events internationally?

The industry offers a variety of large conferences and events that focus on the latest trends and developments in digital and online marketing. Some of the best known and largest are OMR Festival: A large digital marketing event in Hamburg with guests from all over the world. Campixx: A smaller but nice conference with a personal touch. DMEXCO: One of Europe's leading digital marketing trade shows with a full program of talks, workshops and exhibitions. Online Marketing Expert Days (OMX): One of the world's largest online marketing events, held in the beautiful Austrian city of Salzburg. Content Day: Dedicated to content marketing, this event presents strategies for successful content creation and distribution. SEO-Day: The largest SEO conference in the German-speaking world, dedicated exclusively to SEO.

What are some of the biggest SEO events internationally?

The largest SEO events provide a unique opportunity to learn from the industry's leading experts and network with other SEO professionals. Some of the most popular international events are BrightonSEO , SEO Campixx , M ozCon , LondonSEO XL (aka »LondonSEO Meetup«), SEO on the Beach and the International Search Summit in Barcelona. The best known events in our home country of Germany are S EO-Day , SMX Munich , and the OMR and OMT festivals.

Are there any purely virtual marketing and SEO events you can recommend?

Digitalization and COVID-19 have profoundly changed the world of events – one would think. But as far as we can tell, the range of purely digital events is not that large these days. Despite the advantages of purely digital events such as flexible participation, no travel and thus an usually lower investment, it seems that after Corona most event providers have returned to ‘business as usual’ and invite us to their physical locations. As a result, there are not many 100% virtual events on our conference calendar. Exceptions that we know of: SMX Next , OMH in Germany (which specializes in marketing for the skilled trades), and the various »Measure Camp« barcamps - otherwise there are only a few ‘hybrid’ conferences like Content Marketing World in San Diego or ADworld Experience in Italy, which also offer digital-only passes as an alternative.

Meetups and Barcamps for Marketing and SEO

At Moccu, we believe that it doesn't always have to be a huge conference with thousands of attendees. On the contrary, sometimes we prefer a much smaller setting and deliberately choose a marketing Meetup or Barcamp.

If you don't know what "Meetups" or Barcamps" are, they are are informal gatherings where people with shared interests come together to exchange ideas in a relaxed setting. Unlike traditional conferences, Barcamp topics are determined collaboratively during the event.

The great thing about Meetups and Barcamps isn’t just that they’re usually free – they’re also fantastic for networking. At SEO Meetups, we’ve often made new connections and, thanks to their more open format, had engaging conversations about current trends and best practices. In fact, these discussions are often far more exciting than those at large, tightly scheduled, and less interactive events.
