In June, we hit an exciting milestone: SMX Advanced returned as an in-person experience for the first time since 2019. SMX Advanced 2025 wasn’t just another conference – it felt like a homecoming. Search marketers from across the globe gathered to reconnect, share strategies, and dive into the latest, most sophisticated developments in search. Yet search is always evolving. With fast-moving advances in AI SEO, ongoing algorithm updates, and the challenge of integrating generative AI while preserving human insight, the demand for truly advanced, practical training is higher than ever.
Help shape SMX Advanced 2026
Our goal is to make the SMX Advanced 2026 agenda the most timely, in-depth, and energizing program we’ve ever produced. But we can only do that with your help – the expert community that defines this event. We’re asking you to directly influence the 2026 curriculum.
By taking a brief survey, you can help us design a program that addresses the most pressing issues and biggest opportunities you’re facing. Share your perspective on:
- Which advanced topics are most essential to your growth right now
- Which recent search shifts or complexities are causing the most concern
- Which search leaders, practitioners, and innovators you want to hear from
- Which session styles – from intensive clinics to lightning talks and interactive panels – best support your learning and retention
Complete the survey today and help us build the next evolution of SMX Advanced.
