If you’re looking for an SEO meetup where you can network with industry folks, meet decision makers, and catch up on the latest SEO trends, we’ve just launched a free London SEO meetup called Sip & Search.

Whether you’re craving fresh strategies, engaging conversation, or just a glass with new friends, this is the room to be in.

Expect detailed insights from fireside conversations, casual networking, and bold takes on the future of search, all in a setting that feels more like a dinner party than a meetup.

What to expect at Sip & Search

Network with decision makers in a casual setting

 

Two wine glasses filled with red wine sit on a wooden table, each labeled with the phrase “SIP & SEARCH” in bold white letters. In the blurred background, a group of four people—two men and two women—smile and chat warmly, creating a relaxed and social atmosphere. A plate of appetizers is partially visible to the left.

Every Sip & Search event focuses on discussing a current issue facing the SEO industry and provides detailed insights from an experienced panel of experts to adjust your strategy.

You’ll leave with ideas and action-ready strategies you can implement immediately.

Experience connection over West African cuisine

Food has a way of bringing people together, breaking down barriers, sparking curiosity, and opening space for honest conversation. That’s why we’re serving rich, authentic West African dishes at Sip & Search.

Whether it’s your first time trying Jollof rice or you’re already a fan, sharing a meal like this creates a relaxed, communal vibe that turns strangers into old friends.

Come hungry for bold flavours and even bolder conversations.

Banter with other SEOs over free drinks

 

A man and a woman are having an enthusiastic discussion in a cozy café setting. The woman, smiling brightly, holds up a smartphone displaying an upward-trending SEO chart. In front of them is a laptop showing website analytics with line and pie charts. The man, wearing glasses and holding a coffee mug, listens attentively. On the wall behind them are signs labeled “AI OVERVIEWS,” “CONTENT STRATEGY,” and “GOOGLE AI MODE.” In the background, other people are seated and smiling, suggesting a casual yet engaged atmosphere.

Drinks are on us, but the real value is in the conversations that go on alongside. Grab a cup of drink and connect with brilliant minds in the room. The essence of this is to make sure you have enough moments to swap ideas, failed strategies, stories, and unpopular SEO opinions with people who understand the game.

 

Expert panel discussion on the latest industry trends

This is where it gets super engaging. 

Expect a candid, high-level conversation on how to adapt to the new AI search features and Google’s tightening grip on organic visibility. 

Meet our panelists and host.

 

In the meetup, you’ll have the chance to hear how other professionals are rethinking SEO strategy, what’s driving results, and where to improve.
