Join us for a #DigitalDinner | Leeds, UK | Wednesday, Feb 25th, 2026

Shelley Walsh and Dixon Jones have decided to go out for an SEO Dinner, sponsored by Majestic. You are invited to join us.

Conferences can be expensive and time consuming, so we sometimes like to organise a quiet meal and chat about SEO for a nice change of pace. Please join us. We'll enjoy your company! You might even make a few new SEO friends and build your network.

This is a small event, just a table in a restaurant, so tickets are extremely limited and tend to sell fast. All we ask is £5 to reserve your seat. Majestic will take care of the rest of the meal, and even supply a drink or two.
