The Conference

SEO Mastery Summit is a four-day conference for SEO professionals, agency leaders and business owners in Ho Chi Minh City, hosted by Mads Singers, with 400+ attendees, workshops and a mastermind day. Mads and his team also run the SEO.Domains Mastery Summit in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Why He Left Whova

SEO Mastery Summit ran on Whova for four years. Three things led Mads to switch:

Fees kept rising

Over four years, the cost of running the event on Whova kept going up.

A tech issue let the event down

A recent technical problem on Whova let the team down.

No audience of SEOs

Whova is a generalist app, so there was no way to put the event in front of an existing audience of SEOs.

The Switch to mySEO

Mads moved SEO Mastery Summit in Vietnam to mySEO, and then the SEO.Domains Mastery Summit in Bulgaria too. On mySEO, the events are listed in an app already used by 4,500+ SEOs, with tickets, QR check-in, the agenda, live Q&A, side events, leaderboards and sponsor tracking in one app, for one payment per event.
