As previously announced by Google Blog and other media channels, Search Central Live will come to Kuala Lumpur and Taipei in the last quarter of 2024.
What can you expect? A day of learning about Search while having fun! Similar to other SCL events, you will be surrounded by peers and professionals in the same industry and with the same interests - Search and SEO. You will also hear presentations from people who work at Google who have been flown in specifically for these events. There will be a wide range of talks carefully selected for the audience of each location, including:
- How Search Works: the longer version
- About updates and content quality
- AI and Search: Version 2024
- Topics related to e-commerce websites
Search Central Live is coming to Kuala Lumpur (instead of Singapore) this year. The event will take place on 17 October 2024 (Thursday) and the talks will be in English. Fill in the registration form for the Kuala Lumpur event by 29 September for a chance to secure a spot. You will receive a confirmation email by 6 October if we are able to confirm your seat.
