WTSFest Philadelphia group ticket discounts

The best conference ideas rarely stay at the conference.

Bring your team to WTSFest Philly, learn together, compare notes in real time, and head back to work with shared ideas you can actually put into practice.

Add 2+ tickets to see group discounts automatically applied - discount increases as tickets increase.

Standard tickets close at the end of this month.


One day to win brand visibility in the age of AI
[Headline Sponsor: Semrush]

The one-day conference where marketers come together to learn how to stay visible in the age of AI and win what's next.

Here’s what to expect:

  • Learn how leading brands win — 80+ experts at OpenAI, Uber, Visa, McKinsey, Wise, Transport for London, Wix, J&J, and more share how they’re growing brand visibility
  • Overcome your top marketing challenges — With 100+ sessions across keynotes, masterminds, workshops, networking, and the expo, marketers can build the day around what they actually need
  • Hear what doesn’t make the slides — The most practical takeaway might come from a mastermind, workshop, or simply overhearing someone at the coffee bar saying, “We tried that, and you won’t believe what happened.”
  • Get insights other events can only speculate on — Spotlight is powered by Semrush, home to the world’s largest proprietary search database, giving marketers brand visibility insights backed by data other conferences simply don’t have

SEO is a Marketer's Superpower

Many marketers know SEO matters, but they treat it like a utility.

Something to hand off to a specialist, an agency, or whoever is willing to deal with it. Then they go back to their work.

I think this is a mistake.


WordPress Site Clinic: Applications Open!

Slow load times, traffic drops, plugin conflicts or server errors?
