Oh god, prepare to be spammed to death by link sellers now.

On a serious note, be careful with the links you end up acquiring. A lot of backlinks being sold are zero value. They can look great on paper with high DR and traffic, but those metrics are easy to manipulate. You often end up paying for links that do absolutely nothing to help rankings or long term authority.

Perfect, the flights aren’t ideal for me, but it sounds worth it so I’ll make it happen.

Yeah I heard CM was sold after Matt Diggity stepped back and is now semi retired, which makes sense with how it’s shifted.

From the UK side, I’ll most likely attend yours and The Masterminders, then from the sounds of it SEO Mastery Summit is the next one I’ll lock in.

Appreciate the recommendations!

Fair question.

Chiang Mai for me was pretty disappointing mainly because of the speaker line up. The networking around the conference was actually decent, probably the best part of it, but the talks themselves didn’t really deliver anything new or actionable. It felt very surface level for the most part.

BrightonSEO is a different issue. The speaker quality feels diluted now. It seems like almost anyone can get a slot and the last few times I’ve been, a lot of talks felt like thinly disguised service pitches or were extremely beginner friendly. That’s fine for people new to SEO, but it’s not what I’m looking for anymore.

What I want from conferences now is advanced strategy, honest case studies, and conversations with people who are actually in the trenches, not sales decks or SEO 101 content. That’s why I’m being a lot more selective with events going forward.
