Hello 2025! (Yeah, we know, time flies!) We've had some exciting plans in the works for Search Central Live (SCL) Asia Pacific this year, and we're super excited to let you in on what we've been up to. We've been listening closely to your feedback, and we're cooking up something different than what we usually do–something bigger, deeper, and more tailored to you!
Introducing Search Central Live Deep Dive!
We heard you loud and clear! You wanted longer events, multi-day experiences, more technical sessions, hands-on workshops, and real-world case studies. Well, get ready, because we're introducing the Search Central Live Deep Dive!
This year we're going to pilot an extended Search Central Live experience marking a new, deeper format for Search Central Live. We're planning a multi-day event in early-mid July, bringing together audiences based in Asia Pacific for in-depth sessions designed to supercharge your Search knowledge and website optimization skills. Here's a sneak peek at some of the topics what we're thinking:
-
How Search works and its application to website optimization:
- Examine the steps of how Search works and how to optimize your site for each of the steps.
-
Dive deep into
robotsmeta tags and learn how to influence your content's visibility on Google Search. - Get hands-on with robots.txt in a practical workshop.
- Take a peek into how rendering works and learn how to avoid common pitfalls.
- Learn practical insights into indexing with real-world examples, including pagination, scrolling, and navigation.
-
AI and the Future of Search:
- Explore the intersection of Search and AI.
- Discuss SEO automations and explore the implications of using automation and AI.
-
Tools and Monitoring Mastery:
- Level up your performance analysis with a Search Console workshop.
- Get hands-on with Google Trends and unlock valuable insights.
And we're not just talking presentations! We're also planning engaging activities outside the main sessions to connect you with fellow participants from all over Asia Pacific. Think community talks, poster sessions, and exchange activities–opportunities to showcase your work, share your experiences, and build valuable connections. We want to create a truly collaborative environment where we can learn from each other, including opportunities for you to share your optimization journeys and feedback on Search products through listening sessions and focus groups.
Sounds exciting, right? We think so too! But we want to make sure this event is perfect for YOU. That's why we need your input.
SCL Deep Dive Asia Pacific 2025: Help us with the Specifics
We're still deciding on the location and fine-tuning the agenda. If you are interested in attending the event in early-mid July, please fill out this interest form by April 16 to help us create the best possible experience (and to turn our plan into reality). Because we're targeting a diverse Asia Pacific based audience, the event will be conducted in English. And if you're interested in giving a lightning talk, this is the place to pitch your idea, too!
To emphasize, this isn't an application form, but it will help us tailor the event to your preferences: your feedback will determine the final form of these events. Also, by filling out the form, you will be among the first to know when applications open!
If you're located outside of Asia Pacific and are interested in traveling to attend, feel free to fill out the form. However, be aware that this event will be primarily catered to the audience in Asia, meaning the content, examples, and style of activities will be focused on the Asian markets. Note that we are unable to provide assistance with accommodation, visa, or transportation, including costs and logistics.
Applications open by April 30, 2025 when we also announce the exact date and location of the event.
Continuing with Local Language Events
On top of Search Central Live Deep Dive, we're also bringing Search Central Live to our Chinese and Japanese speaking audiences in early Q4. Like with previous SCL events, we'll prioritize delivering the most popular and impactful sessions in Chinese and Japanese, tailored to your needs. We will announce the event dates and locations a few weeks before the events.
We Can't Wait to See You!
We're incredibly excited about these plans and can't wait to connect with you. Fill out the interest form and help us create the Search Central Live Asia Pacific events to best support your web optimization journey. Your feedback will directly influence how these events take place.
