What are the ticket options?

One way to avoid the scramble for tickets would be to scrap the free tickets but that’s not our style and we like having different ticket types for people to choose from:

Free tickets

A one-day ticket option that’s great for people starting out in the industry or who want to try the brightonSEO experience.

Friend tickets

A chance to secure a ticket easily (particularly valuable if your time is precious), attend both days of the conference and enjoy perks like our famous merch.

BFF (VIP) tickets

All the perks of our friend tickets plus some extra special bonus features

Training tickets

For people who really want to get the most from the event. They arrive a day early for a full-day of training to delve deep into one topic and then get the variety of the conference as well.
