Est. 2026 · a merger of three
Balkan SEO Summit.
Three of the region's boldest search conferences stopped competing for the same weekend and merged into one festival — masterminds, keynotes, panels, workshops and after-shows that run late, staged across the Balkans.
Act I — the union
Three conferences.
Three conferences.
One summit.
For years the Balkan search scene split itself across three cities and three calendars. Same crowd, same rakija, three sets of flights. So we stopped dividing the room.
SEO On Stage brought the theatre — rehearsed talks, a live score, an after-show that runs late.
Belgrade SEO Conference brought the technical depth and a community that argues about crawl budgets for fun.
SERP Conference Sofia brought the data, the tooling crowd, and half of Southeast Europe's agencies.
Together they become the Balkan SEO Summit: one festival of search where the whole region shows up at once — and nobody has to choose.

The three that started it
The founders.
Each edition keeps its soul. The summit is the confluence of all three — and every founding event carries its DNA onto the new stages.
Belgrade SEO Conference
The technical one · Belgrade, SerbiaDeep, hands-on sessions and a community that treats a good log-file analysis like a spectator sport. The engine room of the Balkan scene.
Merging in →SERP Conference Sofia
The data one · Sofia, BulgariaWhere the tooling crowd and Southeast Europe's agencies gather around search data, automation, and what actually moves rankings this year.

Act II — the program
Not a schedule.
Not a schedule.
A festival.
Five ways to spend the summit. Move between stages like a music festival — catch a keynote, drop into a workshop, argue on a panel, then find your people at the after-show.
The centrepiece
The Mastermind Tables
Small, closed-door rooms where a facilitator and a dozen peers pull apart one real problem — your migration, your dip, your automation stack. Strategy and collaboration, no slides. Reserved for Backstage passes and sponsors.
Keynotes
Top global SEO and marketing minds, rehearsed and staged like a keynote should be — big ideas on the main stage, not read off slides in a dim ballroom.
Panels
Named for the kolo, the Balkan circle dance. Honest, occasionally heated debates where practitioners disagree in public so you don't have to guess who's right.
Workshops
Hands-on, laptops-open sessions. Technical SEO, GEO / AI search, content ops and analytics — you leave with something you can ship on Monday.
Activities
A live band, a boat party, city runs and long dinners. The part where deals actually get made and the Balkans do what they do best — hospitality.
Act III — stand on stage
