VIP Day isn't networking—it's deal-making. Last year, attendees closed partnerships, landed clients, and found business partners all before the main conference even started.
When you spend a full day with 7 and 8-figure agency owners, in a relaxed setting with no pitches and no walls up—real business happens.
This is where handshakes turn into contracts.
Why a Full Day Changes Everything
Most conferences give you a few hours at a cocktail party. You exchange cards, make small talk, and hope the right conversations happen.
VIP Day gives you something most events never do: time.
An entire day — morning to night — with speakers, industry leaders, and top attendees. Enough time to move beyond introductions, discover shared opportunities, and build relationships that actually last.
By the time the main conference begins, you won't be walking into a room of strangers.
You'll already have people to talk with, ideas to share, and connections that can move your business forward.
★★★★★ From The Crowd
They Keep Coming Back
“SEORockstars is everything I look for in an SEO event. I've been attending since 2012 and will continue because there is NO other event that has consecutively added a minimum 6 figures to my bottom line EVERY year!
Brian HongSEO Agency Owner“In terms of pure actionable SEO content, this is the best event. All presenters were world class and taught real SEO strategies that actually work, NO THEORY! If I didn't attend this event, my business would be at least a year behind.
Nick KringasSEO Agency Owner“At SEORockstars, speakers were basing their information on actual tests they've ran and not just their opinions. Many presentations were on topics I've never seen discussed anywhere else before. Priceless! It was a breath of fresh air.

Questions?
Is this conference for beginners or advanced SEOs?
SEO Rockstars is designed for intermediate to advanced SEO professionals. We assume you know the basics and focus on strategies that are working right now, based on real tests. If you're already running SEO campaigns for clients or your own business, you'll get massive value. If you're brand new to SEO, this might be too advanced.
What if I can't attend all three days?
VIP and Rockstar ticket holders get lifetime access to all session recordings, so you won't miss anything. General Admission attendees can upgrade to VIP to get recordings. We also have virtual attendance options if you can't make it to New Orleans at all.
Will the sessions be recorded?
Yes! All sessions are recorded. VIP and Rockstar ticket holders get lifetime access to all recordings. Recordings are typically available within 2 weeks after the event.
What's the refund policy?
Full refund available until September 1st. Simply email us and we'll process your refund, no questions asked. After September 1st, tickets are non-refundable but can be transferred to another person.
How is this different from other SEO conferences?
Three things set us apart: (1) Every strategy shared is backed by real tests — we've run 700+ experiments since 2012. No theory, no fluff. (2) It's intentionally small — 100 attendees max means you'll actually meet speakers and make real connections. (3) No pitches — our speakers teach, they don't sell from stage.
What's included in my ticket?
All tickets include full conference access (October 2-4), speaker presentations, transcriptions, and networking events. VIP adds VIP Day (October 1), the cocktail party, recordings, and priority seating. Rockstar adds The Vault (15 years of content) and automation templates. Full breakdown is in the pricing section above.
Is there a dress code?
Business casual. Most attendees wear jeans and a nice shirt. Comfort is key — you'll be learning all day.
What about parking and hotels?
The event will be held at the Embassy Suites by Hilton New Orleans (315 Julia Street). We recommend booking your room early as our hotel block fills up quickly.
Can I bring a colleague or team member?
Absolutely! Each person needs their own ticket. Teams of 3+ can email us for group pricing options.
What if I have more questions?
Text ROCKSTAR to (209) 457-7148 and we'll get back to you quickly. You can also email support@seorockstars.net.
