Inaugural Search Mastermind Event
It all started with a WhatsApp message. A group of search judges were heading to the European Search Awards in Lisbon. We were discussing possibility of meeting up before or after the event to have a few private search discussions and what was going on this year in search.
That lead to the idea of meeting not just for a few hours but for a few days. "Let's bring together some of the top minds in SEO and search marketing and have a offsite brainstorming" and Search Mastermind was born. There would be no brands, no sponsors, just people. Our inaugural event was in Porto, Portugal.
