Testimonials / this is what attendees said about NESS 2021 & 2022

“This was the most relevant SEO conference I’ve attended in a very long time! It’s all focused on News and featured good gender diversity, as well as good diversity of backgrounds from presenters.”

“A great mix of editorial and technical content. Every single session was helpful and valuable – very different to other conferences where there is barely News SEO Content.”

“The variety of speakers from many different renowned publishers, the focus specifically on news. The speakers were all chosen very well. All of them were fluent, clear and informative.”

“Everything about the conference surpassed my every expectation. The organization, the speakers, the general spirit of honesty and investment in quality content, the airmeet platform, the breakout tables, the commitment to answering questions – all of it was 100% brilliant! I’m well impressed!”
