Semrush Sets New Standard for Digital Brand Visibility with Spotlight 2026 Conference
1,000+ senior leaders to convene in London to master the convergence of SEO and AI Search - securing a distinct advantage in a rapidly changing landscape
Semrush Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:SEMR), the leading online visibility management platform, today announced the launch of Spotlight 2026, its flagship marketing conference taking place in London on October 13. The event is designed to equip marketers with the strategies required to compete and win brand visibility in the AI search era.
As the interconnections between SEO and AI Search become increasingly clear, leaders who want to remain seen must embrace a modernized, comprehensive brand visibility strategy. Semrush is leading the market and the conversation on how brands can win visibility, and Spotlight 2026 will be centered around this primary theme. The 2026 forum will gather more than 1,000 senior leaders – including CMOs, heads of brand, SEO executives, and growth teams – to move beyond theory and create the new blueprints and models for brand visibility.
"In a world where LLMs and AI agents are changing every facet of brand discovery, staying static is not an option," said Andrew Warden, Chief Marketing Officer at Semrush. "Spotlight 2026 is designed to provide a practical roadmap to adapt and to own brand visibility. We're bringing together the world's leading operators to challenge assumptions and walk away with the plans required to outperform their competitors."
