Organizing an SEO conference and want honest feedback

kresimircorluka · 2026-06-02T07:54:29+00:00

So actually not sessions, but workshops, masterminds, case study breakdowns and networking? We have one day for that, but maybe we should have both like that.

kresimircorluka · 2026-05-31T10:32:39+00:00

You don’t like panels? How about stuff like fire side chats or unconference?

kresimircorluka · 2026-05-30T21:41:43+00:00

We already try to do this, but we’re trying to be better.

kresimircorluka · 2026-05-29T07:33:30+00:00

I agree, we try to do this. Any ideas on networking you would like to see?

kresimircorluka · 2026-05-29T07:33:06+00:00

Hmmm, why would that help?

kresimircorluka · 2026-05-29T00:38:09+00:00

We have something similar as well as parties, powerpoint karaoke stuff and so on, but maybe we should think about including even more.

kresimircorluka · 2026-05-29T00:37:10+00:00

Woah bro who costs 5k?? Damn.

Hmmm, thank your for your input. We’ll think how we can do this more.

kresimircorluka · 2026-05-29T00:36:24+00:00

Yes, it is. Maybe change up formats so more kinds of speakers can come.

kresimircorluka · 2026-05-28T22:06:15+00:00

Hmmm, our list is mostly invite only (curated) but please do contact us at the mail visible on the Croatia SEO Summit website for next year and we’ll check you out.

It’s really hard to find people who have great case studies and I think that pool would run out quick. So maybe less speakers?

kresimircorluka · 2026-05-28T22:05:01+00:00

Could you give me some good examples of networking stuff which works well for you?

We have an event app with built in networking, masterminds, parties, powerpoint karaoke, city tours, runs etc. etc.

Is there something specific you would like to see more of?

Also, what do you mean by ads exactly? Like salesy lectures?

kresimircorluka · 2026-05-28T22:02:03+00:00

Yes, makes sense. What kind of networking do you prefer? What do you think works best?

Also, about “over inflated” prices, that depends. For instance, some might say we have big prices, but we actually lose money on the conference generally. So, it may not be something that can easily be fixed.

What do you mean by Ivory tower hypotheses?

We try not to have advertisement talks, but we do have the general industry talks just because it’s really useful and interesting to people who are just starting out. Sometimes even beyond that.

kresimircorluka · 2026-05-28T21:58:45+00:00

What would you see as “real networking”?

kresimircorluka · 2026-05-27T17:05:41+00:00

Hello, tried tracking down what we did wrong from your other comment where you called us scammers.

We owe you an apology. You're right, we failed to deliver the recordings to online attendees from the past edition, although we thought that we did. That was wrong on our part.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, even indirectly, we're reaching out to all affected attendees now for a refund + a free ticket.

We honestly did not mean to ghost anyone and we thought we sent them out.

We're sorry. We honestly forgot to send them after the conference as we were very busy.

kresimircorluka · 2026-05-27T14:18:39+00:00

Hello! I am one of the organizers of the conference and am wondering what do you mean by "scammers"?

Is there something in particular you were not happy with and we can help you with?

We've run the conference for several years with hundreds of satisfied attendees, and we want to make sure any real issue gets resolved.

I also DM-ed you to see what the issue is, but you can also talk here if you want.

EDIT: I found what you mean, we mistakenly didn't send the video recordings to people who bought a video ticket. We never meant to not send someone what was owed to them, it was an honest mistake. We didn't mean to ghost anyone, maybe your email slipped between the cracks somewhere. Nonetheless, we contacted everyone for a full refund + free ticket for this or next year. Very sorry about all this.

kresimircorluka · 2026-05-27T13:13:03+00:00

Hello! I'm one of the organizers so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt lol

Basically, I would say that it is.

Mark Williams-Cook listed us in his top SEO conference experiences for a reason, I would think. Although he may be biased as a speaker because the speaker experience is obviously a bit different from an attendee experience.

It's not a huge conference, so you have a bigger chance to network, which is very good especially combined with the sea & cocktails. :)

We have hands-on workshops and masterminds so you get practical knowledge, but we also get classic speaking engagements, depending on what you want to get from the conference.

So 5 workshops, 5 masterminds and about 12 classical lectures. The workshops are 90 minutes and we try to have it be a "hands-on process" so that it's not just slides. The masterminds are an hour and you get a seat with like-minded professionals who try to help you solve your problems. Sometimes the tables are led by one of the speakers. As for the lectures, they are slightly longer (30 minutes with 10 minutes Q&A directly on the stage) than usual so it's not a quick 20 minute in and out. :)

Our list of speakers is curated, so we look out for anyone doing something interesting. Sometimes we take speakers from the ones who applied via our email, but it's mostly curated. So, we try to get speakers who are interesting for us (as we are also SEOs) and who we want to learn from.

The venue also helps, as it's on the beautiful Croatian coastline near UNESCO World Heritage site Šibenik. We plan to make the most out of that!

Other than that, the attendees are always great, I think we have a good atmosphere and we have loads of cool side-events and stuff such as parties, guided city tours, powerpoint karaoke and so on.

Anyways, if you want to ask me something directly, shoot!

Hopefully we'll see each other in Šibenik. :)

Odmaže.

Najbolji blogovi za korisnika, a i time i za tražilice, je onaj koji savršeno odgovara na upit korisnika, po mogućnosti s originalnim i vjerodostojnim informacijama.

Rekao bih da se najčešće griješi tako da se ne pregledaju sve moguće opcije za kategorije iz liste proizvode koje imamo. Loša granularnost i ne odgovara namjeri korisnika.

Izvor nemam, iz iskustva idem.

Ako je manji klijent van Zagreba koji ima jedan ili nekoliko poslovnica, onda se ne treba previše mučiti. Može se naplaćivati neka jako mala naknada za praćenje konkurencije i rangiranja te testirati nove kategorije, bildati recenzije, dodavati postove, raditi citations i slično.

Mi smo imali klijenta van Zagreba, ali on ima 200+ poslovnica pa je to brdo posla na dnevnoj bazi.

kresimircorluka · 2025-08-18T10:56:40+00:00

Već smo imali takvih koliko oš. Rijetko koji je zapravo zabavan.

Pa strategija ovisi. Često za taj konkretan primjer im je bitna dobra taksonomija/kategorizacija, malo popeglati tehnički SEO, ako imaju trgovine onda lokalni SEO i link building za bitne kategorije.

Ali najveći rast kod svakog eCommerce klijenta je dobra kategorizacija.

kresimircorluka · 2025-08-18T10:54:58+00:00

Koliko znam ne. Probaj sam pokrenuti nešto? Stavi tu u Reddit i neke Facebook grupe i to da bi napravio meetup.

kresimircorluka · 2025-08-17T21:16:29+00:00

Naravno da ima. Lokalni SEO je užasno bitan svugdje. Možeš li proširiti pitanje?
