      NESS Testimonials

      The NESS event is truly remarkable. It attracts an incredible group of marketers from major publications around the world and brings together speakers on a diverse, but highly relevant range of topics. Strongly recommended for anyone in the field.

      Rand Fishkin

      NESS is where industry thought leaders gather to share insights and shape the future of journalism and content marketing. It has been an absolute honor for me to attend as a speaker.

      Andrea Volpini

      Wordlift
      We had a fantastic time sponsoring The News & Editorial SEO Summit (NESS). It was great connecting with a diverse community of news publishing professionals from all around the world. We were impressed with the quality of sessions, discussions and speakers at the conference. We walked away with many valuable insights into the news publishing space. For those in this industry, attending the NESS conference is a must if you want to expand your knowledge and build meaningful relationships.

      NESS is truly the most relevant SEO event right now. What you see here is not discussed on any SEO blog. You can leave satisfied and inspired by the amount of new information and discussions.

      Great conference, even if you are not directly working in but only working with the industry.

      Hannah Rohde

      Wingmen Online Marketing
      NESS is the most important SEO Conference for News Publishers. You do not find that much aggregated knowledge in one place. As a speaker the level of how well everything is organized is amazing. Content-wise you get hands-on, data-driven insights. It is an absolutely helpful deep dive into all topics publisher SEOs have to deal with on a daily basis, no matter if you are a team of 20 or the SEO-One-Woman-Show  in your house.

      NESS brings together news SEO experts from all over the world to further enhance the visibility of digital journalism. I felt truly supported as a speaker, really enjoyed speaking at the event and left inspired as an attendee after attending the 2-day conference. Thank you for having me.

      Presenting at NESS 2024 alongside Ed Hyatt of the WSJ was an incredible experience. The event’s focus on practical news SEO strategies, coupled with the opportunity to connect with experts like John Shehata, Barry Adams, Rand Fishkin, Martin Splitt, Lily Ray and Glenn Gabe, made it an invaluable platform for knowledge sharing. NESS is the must-attend for any news publisher serious about maximizing their online visibility. I'm excited to see what NESS 2025 brings!

      Brendan O'Connell

      The New York Post
      NESS was a conference that was desperately needed in the US. When SEO was spoken about domestically, it was rarely if ever focused on news SEO and it's impact in media as most conferences were e-commerce centric. To have a space for us all to discuss News SEO, teach our fellow peers about it and also trade ideas is magnificent. I'm glad this conference is here to stay.

      Claudio E Cabrera,

      The Athletic
      Best damn conference that I've attended in a long, long time. If you weren't there, then run -- don't walk -- to get access to the videos of the sessions. There were more than half a dozen that I plan to write about -- an and still won't be doing NESS 2025 justice.
