PortoSearch Mastermind

May 2023

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.
