We celebrated a major milestone in June: the return of SMX Advanced as an in-person event. It was our first since 2019.
More than a conference, SMX Advanced 2025 was a reunion. Search marketers from around the world came together to connect, exchange ideas, and learn the most current and advanced insights in search.
But search never stands still. With rapid shifts in AI SEO, constant algorithm changes, and the challenge of balancing generative AI with a human touch, the need for truly advanced, actionable education has never been greater.
Help shape SMX Advanced 2026
We’re committed to making the SMX Advanced 2026 program our most relevant, advanced, and exciting deep-dive experience yet. And we can’t do it without you – the expert community that makes this event legendary.
We’re inviting you to directly shape the curriculum for 2026.
Help us build a program that tackles the biggest challenges and opportunities on your radar by completing our short survey. Tell us:
- What advanced topics are most critical to your professional growth right now.
- Which recent search changes or complexities are keeping you up at night.
- Which search industry experts and innovators you need to hear from.
- Which session formats – from deep-dive clinics to lightning talks and interactive panels – will help you learn more and retain what you learn.
Fill out the survey here.
