Conference Scholarships

We know certain groups of people are under-represented in the world of digital marketing, which is why we’re excited to offer scholarship places at our conference in April 2026 in Brighton.

We’re obviously a tad biased but we think learning and professional development is vital for search marketers. 

The world of digital marketing is always changing so it’s important to stay up to date on new technology and trends.

Visiting Hero Conf gives marketers the opportunity to learn from leading experts from across the globe, keep up to date on the changes and issues effecting the industry and learn new skills to take back to their role.

We know certain groups of people are under-represented in the world of SEO so we’re excited to offer free conference scholarship tickets to the conference.

These places are free of charge and aim to give the opportunity to learn more about PPC to people from under-represented groups in our industry who wouldn’t be able to access it otherwise. We hope it will help open up the industry and routes to the top.

For example: people who are returning to work after a break (including maternity/parental/adoption leave), LGBTQ+ people, women, non-binary people, disabled people, people of colour, people who are unemployed or students. These categories aren’t exhaustive but hopefully give you an idea of who we’re trying to assist.

How to apply for a conference scholarship

Scholarships applications will open shortly.

We won’t share details of who has been allocated a scholarship place (though recipients are obviously welcome to do this) and recipients will get exactly the same (marvellous) experience on the day as everyone else.

We’ve been working on making our events more accessible and inclusive so we are happy to chat about other ways we can accommodate your accessibility requirements.
