Building Bridges Across Markets

The Shenzhen SEO Conference exists to connect China's top SEOs and marketers with global professionals, creating partnerships that last far beyond the event itself.

Our Vision

We believe the future of digital marketing lies at the intersection of Eastern and Western expertise. Since our founding, we've brought together hundreds of professionals from 30+ countries to share strategies, build partnerships, and explore the world's most dynamic tech ecosystem.

More than 50% of our Chinese attendees are decision-makers—Founders, CEOs, and Marketing Directors—from B2B manufacturing, ecommerce, and AI/SaaS companies. Around half of international attendees are SEO agencies and martech providers researching China market entry.

Dependable

Consistent quality year after year. We deliver what we promise.

Open

Everyone is welcome. No gatekeeping, no cliques.

Warm

Real connections over business cards. We bring people together.

Modern

Forward-looking strategies for an industry that moves fast.
