If you are like me, you keep some flexibility to your schedule and might be looking for that one last SEO conference before year’s end.
And, being in Europe, you got great location, and smart SEOs spread around easy-to-travel countries near-by.
This is your last-minute fix if you are looking for one more event to use your company’s training budget, last-minute free time, or combine with some vacations to get over summer’s end blues 😊

1. brightonSEO UK, October Edition
Date: 8 to 9 October 2026
Location: The Brighton Centre, Brighton, UK
Main speakers: Ross Simmonds (closing keynote), plus 190+ speakers across multiple stages
Ticket: Friend pass, £580 + VAT (two days) (24th of September is the last day for £430 tickets)
brightonSEO is one of the biggest search conference in the world. More than 4,500 marketers come from 70+ countries. This edition is also its 10th anniversary at the Brighton Centre.
Being at Brighton two years back, it’s an experience worth living.
My advice, register for the masterclasses, and be sure to network with fellow SEOs, that’s where most of the value lies.
Register at: brightonSEO October 2026
2. Masters of Search
Date: 22 October 2026
Location: von Greifswald, Berlin, Germany
Main speakers: Aleyda Solis (Orainti, SEOFOMO), Malte Landwehr (Peec AI), Fabrizio Ballarini (Revolut), Margus Veeber (Pipedrive), Jennifer Lapp (Brevo), Amir Bohnenkamp (Heyflow), Anita Kirkovska (Vellum)
Tickets starting at €499 Regular
Masters of Search sits at the other end from brightonSEO. It’s one day with 175 seats, all talks in English, and the focus is GEO and AI search.
For SaaS marketers, this is the most relevant agenda on the list.
Go if: you lead organic growth at a SaaS or tech company and want peer-level operators instead of vendors.
3. SEO On Stage, Athens Edition
Date: Saturday, 24 October 2026
Location: Benaki Museum, Pireos 138, Athens, Greece
Main speakers: Arnout Hellemans, Malte Landwehr, Nick Malekos, Marco Giordano, Natalia Witczyk, Tom Winter, Helene Jelenc, Ivana Flynn, Darko Ivanoski, Darko Brzica, Sarah Pokorna
Tickets: €80 Standard,
70% off with code SEO-On-Stage-NickMalekos70
Full disclosure: I’m the MC for this one, and I also join a round table on the day. So yes, I’m biased.
SEO On Stage will be closer to a theatre production, with talks, music and conversation into the night, all inside a real theatre space at the Benaki Museum.
The speakers are practitioners you rarely see together in Southern Europe. Arnout Hellemans and Tom Winter bring technical and strategic depth. Malte Landwehr covers AI search visibility, since his company, Peec AI, tracks brand presence in LLMs. There are also panels and a fireside chat on where search goes next.
Expect more AI Search, and iGaming in the heart of Athens with SEOs from all over Europe.
P.S.: Athens is a city to experience, be careful where you book your stay and book some extra days for incredible food, museums, and cultural activities – also one of the European capitals for escape rooms 😉
4. SERP Conf. Vienna
Date: 3 to 4 November 2026
Location: Tech Gate Vienna, Austria
Main speakers: Barry Schwartz (RustyBrick), Martin Splitt (Google), Dan Petrovic (DEJAN Marketing), Jes Scholz, Chima Mmeje (Moz), Jairo Guerrero (Organic Hackers)
Tickets: €499 Conference Ticket (Day 1 conference, networking cocktail and Day 2 masterclasses) – early bird tickets end on September 30th
SERP Conf. sits where SEO, e-commerce and AI meet.
Dan Petrovic alone makes it worth considering. Few people have done more practical research on how LLMs select and cite content. Barry Schwartz brings the news desk view of what’s actually changing in Google.
There is also a Team Pass with two tickets for the price of one. If you’re sending two people from the same team, that’s the best value on the list after Athens.
Go if: you want structured learning and hands-on masterclasses, not just talks.
P.S.: Vienna is a beautiful visit, always book extra days.
5. MozCon London
Date: 13 November 2026
Location: Convene 22 Bishopsgate, London, UK
Main speakers: Dr. Pete Meyers and Tom Capper (Moz), Helen Pollitt (Getty Images), Miracle Inameti-Archibong (John Lewis), Mark Williams-Cook (Candour), Beatrice Gamba (WordLift), Chima Mmeje (Moz)
Tickets: £520 General Admission
MozCon was a Seattle institution for years. The London edition brings it to European audiences as a single, focused day.
The lineup leans toward enterprise in-house SEO.
Getty Images and John Lewis run search at a scale where small percentage gains are worth millions.
Beatrice Gamba from WordLift covers the entity and knowledge graph side, which matters more every month as AI systems decide which brands to trust.
Go if: you run in-house SEO at an enterprise brand, or you want data-led talks from the Moz research team.
6. SEOkomm
Date: 27 November 2026
Location: Salzburg Congress, Salzburg, Austria
Main speakers: Bastian Grimm (Peak Ace), Tobias Fox (VERDURE), Kai Spriestersbach, Michael Schilling, Thiago Pojda, Nina Roser (fischerAppelt)
Tickets start at €630 net (depends on the sales phase, standard €790 net plus 20% Austrian VAT)
SEOkomm is the most respected SEO conference in the DACH region. It’s also the last major in-person SEO event in Europe this year.

Final thought
You don’t need to go to every conference. This is a last-minute budget for a quick travel.
Choose something that is near, convenient, good priced, and will give the most value in a couple of days.
I always like to add a couple of days to explore the location and live the city 🙂
For me, it will be Athens for SEO on Stage, then Lisbon for a GTM event.
