MozCon New York is back for 2026, and the pitch form is now officially open! If you\u2019re an SEO and digital marketing enthusiast, this is your chance to shine. However, with hundreds of pitches coming in, standing out can be challenging. This post will guide you through the process, helping you craft a compelling pitch that will make the committee take notice.<\/p>\n
Think of your pitch like an elevator pitch. The committee reviews dozens of submissions daily, so you need to make an immediate impact. Here\u2019s how to structure your pitch effectively:<\/p>\n
Your title should be value-focused and easy to understand. Our core audience consists of SEO and digital marketers. Would your title excite them enough to buy tickets, grab their notebooks, and take notes?<\/p>\n
Use a bullet list to outline the main points you\u2019ll cover in your presentation. Ensure these points align with the value you promised in your title and solve a real problem. What challenges does your topic address? What fears or frustrations do SEOs and marketers face around it? Most importantly, what solution will leave them feeling confident and ready to act?<\/p>\n
MozCon is all about empowering our audience to take action. We encourage speakers to make their talks practical, offering enough guidance for attendees to implement the tips they have learned. Complete this sentence: By the end of this talk, the audience will know how to\u2026<\/p>\n
I encourage you to wear your empathy hat and think about the biggest problems digital marketers and SEOs face today. Here are a few topics we\u2019re interested in:<\/p>\n
AI search visibility is becoming just as important as visibility on traditional search engines. We\u2019d love to hear from search specialists executing innovative strategies that have earned your clients or employers a significant increase in online visibility. Share your success stories and the strategies that drove them.<\/p>\n
How are you using AI as a marketer to make more money for yourself or your clients? We love AI, and so does our audience. Show us the coolest things you\u2019ve built with AI and how you use it to reach your SEO and marketing goals. Whether it\u2019s AI-powered content creation or predictive analytics, we want to see your creative applications.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve conducted in-depth research that helps SEOs do their jobs better or get buy-in for execution, we\u2019d love for you to share your research findings with our audience. Detail your methodology, findings, and implications for the industry.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s the standout success you had in 2025? Is it replicable? Think about the strategy that drove that win and share how others can achieve similar results. This could be a case study or a success story that demonstrates your expertise.<\/p>\n
If you think of your skill set as an SEO or marketer, what\u2019s one thing you do exceptionally well\u2014a process you\u2019ve perfected to the point that you\u2019re almost protective of it because it consistently delivers massive results? That\u2019s the talk we want to hear. Share your secret sauce and how it can benefit others.<\/p>\n
The pitches that rise to the top share three key qualities:<\/p>\n
Get to the value quickly. The committee wants to understand what you\u2019ll be talking about and why it matters. Avoid jargon and keep it simple.<\/p>\n
We want original ideas you haven\u2019t presented elsewhere. If you\u2019ve already shared your insights in a blog post or webinar, consider how you can make them more impactful in a live presentation.<\/p>\n
Our audience is filled with expert SEOs. Show them something new, not broad or surface-level insights. Provide actionable takeaways that they can implement immediately.<\/p>\n
The deadline to submit a pitch is January 30, 2026. Due to the high volume of pitches we receive, we\u2019ll only contact speakers with whom we decide to move forward. We\u2019ll review pitches as they come in, so if you\u2019re interested in speaking at MozCon New York, it\u2019s best to pitch now.<\/p>\n
We can\u2019t wait to hear your ideas. Submit your pitch today, and you could take the stage at MozCon 2026. Good luck!<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t worry! Even if your pitch isn\u2019t accepted this year, it doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t pitch for future MozCons. Keep refining your ideas and submitting pitches. The MozCon team receives hundreds of submissions each year, so your next pitch could be the one that gets accepted.<\/p>\n
Yes, you can pitch multiple topics. However, each pitch should focus on a single, clear idea. This increases your chances of being selected and ensures that your presentation remains focused and impactful.<\/p>\n
No experience is necessary! MozCon welcomes speakers of all levels. If you\u2019re new to public speaking, consider practicing your pitch with friends, family, or even record yourself to get comfortable with the format. The key is to be authentic and passionate about your topic.<\/p>\n
