Online AEO Conferences

If you cannot travel, these AI-search events run online. 2 conferences in Online.

Free and Low-Cost AEO Conferences

Several AEO events are free or cost under $300. These are the most affordable options.

How to Choose the Right AEO Conference

Decide between dedicated and mixed

Dedicated AEO and GEO events go deep on AI search. SEO conferences with an AI-search track suit you if you still need classic SEO too.

Look for practical sessions

The best AEO talks show tests and results: what got cited, in which tool, and why.

Check which AI tools are covered

Look for sessions on ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, not just one.

Think about measurement

Ask whether the event covers how to track AI visibility, citations and share of voice in AI answers.

Weigh the travel

Many AEO events are one day. Asian multi-day conferences give you more sessions per trip.

See who is speaking

Look for practitioners running AI-search tests now, not only tool vendors.

How to Get the Most Out of an AEO Conference

Bring your own prompts

Have a list of the questions your customers ask AI tools, so you can test ideas from talks straight away.

Ask what got cited

In Q&A, ask speakers which pages or sources AI tools actually cited in their tests.

Go to the workshops

AEO changes fast; hands-on workshops are where you learn what works this month.

Message people before the day

If the event app has attendee chat, arrange coffees with people working on the same AI tools.

Write up what you learn

Posting takeaways on LinkedIn during the event gets you noticed by speakers.

Follow up within a week

Connect with the people you met while the conversation is fresh.

Run your own
