Not bigger. Not louder. Not rebranded into a “community”.
Just the same idea done properly.
Why this exists
Most SEO events are built around the wrong incentives.
Someone needs to sell a tool. Someone needs to justify a speaking slot. Someone needs a photo of a full room. The result is usually the same: surface-level talks, recycled opinions, and very little space for the kind of conversations people actually working in SEO need.
The SEO Roundtable in Nottingham exists because that model stopped being useful years ago.
This is a deliberately small, discussion-led format for people who want to talk honestly about what’s changing — and what’s breaking — in SEO.
What the roundtable is (and isn’t)
There are no speakers.
There are no slide decks.
There is nothing being sold.
Instead, you get a room of SEOs, consultants, in-house marketers, and digital practitioners discussing real-world challenges: AI-driven search, content credibility, shrinking SERP real estate, measurement uncertainty, and the growing disconnect between “SEO advice” and operational reality.
The value comes from the discussion, not the agenda.
Why small matters
These roundtables are intentionally limited in size.
Smaller rooms mean conversations don’t stay polite and shallow. People can disagree without posturing. Real constraints, failures, and trade-offs actually get discussed.
That design choice is repeatedly reflected in how participants describe the experience.
What participants say
Not testimonials written for a landing page — just how people described the sessions afterwards.
“Great event Rüdiger Dalchow & thank you Steven Pitchford Dixon Jones and everyone there for making it an engaging evening”
— Michael Smith
“One of the best events I’ve been to this year. Smaller, which meant more meaningful conversations, and filled with people who both know their stuff and are eager to learn from your experience.”
— Ryan Jones, SEOTesting
“A really special event and an enjoyable industry chat in good company.”
— Steven Pitchford, Majestic – who has been so nice to sponsor food and drinks without even talking about their offering.
“Great discussion, and nice to know that we’re all facing similar challenges.”
— Andy Clowes, Tank
“Thoroughly enjoyed it.”
— Dixon Jones, Majestic, inLinks, waikay
The common thread isn’t novelty or hype. It’s relief — relief at being able to talk openly with peers who understand the work and its consequences.
Who it’s for
This roundtable is open to anyone involved in SEO in and around Nottingham who wants to take part in thoughtful, experience-led discussion.
Some attendees are early in their SEO careers. Others have been doing this for years. What matters isn’t seniority — it’s curiosity, openness, and a willingness to engage with how SEO actually works in practice, not just how it’s described online.
The conversations often move beyond basics, touching on:
- how AI-driven search affects visibility and trust
- how content decisions play out beyond rankings
- how SEO fits into wider business and marketing reality
If you’re interested in SEO and willing to contribute, you’ll likely feel at home.
A brief track record
Two SEO Roundtables ran in Nottingham during 2025.
The format stayed the same. The conversations evolved. The interest grew.
Attendees included consultants, agency leads, in-house specialists, and product-side SEOs — many of whom commented publicly that the value came from who was in the room, not who was “on stage”.
That’s exactly the point.
Next roundtable: 11 June 2026
The next SEO Roundtable in Nottingham is scheduled for 11 June 2026.
It will follow the same format as before: small room, no speakers, no slide theatre, and no forced “networking experience” nonsense.
Just a group of people who care about SEO, talking properly about the work.
If you would like to take part, keep an eye out for announcements and decide whether the format fits how you think and work.
No pressure. No funnels. No fake urgency.
Just a decent room and a better conversation.
