Why SMX Munich?

Search marketing is evolving fast and so is the role of every search and marketing manager. AI is reshaping how we work, measure, and compete. Platforms are shifting. KPIs are being redefined. Privacy demands and data gaps keep growing. At the same time, the work is more strategic than ever. SEO and PPC professionals are no longer just channel managers — they’re business drivers, insight translators, and creative problem-solvers.

It’s where search professionals sharpen their thinking, upgrade their skills, and reconnect with the real reasons they love this industry. SMX is the most established conference series entirely devoted to search marketing and how search fits into the marketing mix. The producers of SMX are not an agency or tool provider but a neutral editorial team.
