DETAILS FOR YOUR DIARY

April 2024 brightonSEO schedule

07:30 AM

5k Seafront Run

60 minutes

Brighton seafront, outside the Brighton Centre, Brighton, BN1 2GR

Kick start your day at the conference with the brightonSEO seafront run - a great conversation-inclined run in along the shoreline and back. Get your blood pumping before a whole day of learning.

The run, typically led by male and female runners from local group RunPals, will be inclusive of any ability, so you can choose how fast or slow you go – every ability is welcome.

Pre-registration is required but free, and will open nearer the date.

Yoga in the Lanes

60 minutes

Yoga in the Lanes, 67 Middle Street, Brighton, BN1 1AL

Enjoy a calming yoga class to counteract your brain getting busy at the conference.

The class is lead by experienced local yoga instructors and the studio provides mats, props and use of shower/hairdryer/facilities 15 minutes prior to class and for 30 minutes afterwards.

Places are free but you need to reserve a place. Please only book if you definitely plan to attend. Spaces are limited to 15 people per class and if you don’t turn up it means someone else could’ve taken part.

08:00 AM

Beach clean

60 minutes

Brighton beach, Meet opposite the Brighton Centre, Brighton, BN1 2GR

Get some fresh sea air and exercise before spending the conference day indoors.

This session, run with Surfers Against Sewage Brighton and ethically driven Brighton-based digital agency Creative Bloom, offers a unique opportunity to meet and chat with some fellow delegates, not to mention the good feeling of doing something positive for Brighton seafront by collecting up some of the plastic waste and rubbish from the beach!

Meet opposite the Brighton Centre at 8am on the morning of the conference - look out for the Surfers Against Sewage flag and stand on the upper promenade. SAS will provide gloves, pickers and bags.
