Black Hat SEO Day 2026

Black Hat SEO Day is a private, off-the-record SEO event focused exclusively on black hat SEO strategies, with a full day of tactical presentations, direct Q&A sessions, operator conversations, and private networking. The event brings together SEO practitioners running real campaigns and testing strategies for competitive search results, with an emphasis on techniques that are not publicly shared.

The November 11 agenda runs from registration and coffee at 09:30 through the main program and an open-bar after-party until 19:00. Six operators deliver presentations followed by Q&A, while the sessions cover practical approaches to SEO, link building, AI, scaling, and strategies being tested on real websites. A dedicated panel and open Q&A gives attendees the opportunity to put their toughest questions directly to the operators in the room.

Black Hat SEO Day operates under strict off-the-record rules. There are no livestreams or recordings, and presentations are exclusive to the event rather than recycled from publicly available material. The format allows operators to discuss tactics openly without the information being recorded or redistributed after the event.

The event is limited to 300 attendees and takes place in Chiang Mai, Thailand. A ticket includes the full day of presentations and operator conversations, private networking, lunch, drinks, and the VIP after-party with an open bar.
