All the slides from #SearchLeeds 2017

Our second edition of SearchLeeds happened on the 15th June 2017. We more than tripled in size, with more than 1,300 marketers walking through the doors of our new home at the first direct arena. We added a third stage and welcomed many more of our SEO and PPC agency friends across Leeds, with the likes of Stickyeyes, Epiphany and Journey Further joining our long-term collaborators Search Laboratory.

We’re incredibly grateful for all the people – the 40 speakers, all the sponsors, the first direct arena staff (who did a great job handling security and were genuinely helpful) and, last but not least, the 40+ Branded3 team members (and especially our awesome marketing team) – who gave up their time to make SearchLeeds what it was this year: the biggest digital conference in the north of England.
