This Event Pays for Itself
Year after year, attendees come back because the ROI is undeniable.
“SEORockstars is everything I look for in an SEO event. I've been attending since 2012 and will continue because there is NO other event that has consecutively added a minimum 6 figures to my bottom line EVERY year!”
“In terms of pure actionable SEO content, this is the best event. All presenters were world class and taught real SEO strategies that actually work, NO THEORY! If I didn't attend this event, my business would be at least a year behind.”
“At SEORockstars, speakers were basing their information on actual tests they've ran and not just their opinions. Many presentations were on topics I've never seen discussed anywhere else before. Priceless! It was a breath of fresh air.”

VIP Day Includes
Your Next $100K Deal Starts Here
VIP Day isn't networking—it's deal-making. Last year, attendees closed partnerships, landed clients, and found business partners all before the main conference even started.
When you spend a full day with 7 and 8-figure agency owners, in a relaxed setting with no pitches and no walls up—real business happens.
This is where handshakes turn into contracts.
Why a Full Day Changes Everything
Most conferences give you 2 hours at a cocktail party. You exchange cards, have surface-level conversations, and forget names by morning.
VIP Day is different. You get an entire day—morning to night—with the speakers and top attendees. Enough time to have real conversations, find common ground, and build relationships that last.
By the time the main conference starts, you'll already have allies in the room.
