HiveMCR 2026: The SEO Conference That Thinks It's a Festival

HiveMCR 2026

HiveMCR ‘26: 21st & 22nd May 2026

Following the resounding success of HiveMCR ‘24 and ‘25, we’ve decided to crank it up a little. Still the same insightful talks, interactive panels, great food and Mancunian atmosphere, but with a twist.

We have still carefully curated a world class line up of the finest experts across all organic search disciplines, dominated by Manchester’s finest. But this time around, you can also expect two of the things that make our city so special. Music, and comedy.

With expert training masterclasses and a gig on the Thursday, and the main event, world class speakers, stand up comedy and the usual after party on the Friday – this year’s HiveMCR literally has it all. Grab your early bird tickets before they run out.

  • HiveMCR has been without a doubt one of the best conferences I've had the wonderful opportunity to speak not only in the UK... but in the world. What a community! I had such an amazing time sharing and connecting during the event and through the many networking opportunities. It has quickly become a must-attend!

  • When Charlie told me about the idea for HIVE I was desperate to be involved. It felt like the spiritual successor to SearchLeeds, Think Vis, ionSearch and SAScon...the north needed an expert-led search-specific event and HIVE MCR is it. Charlie delivered (twice and counting). It's now one of the few must-attend events of the year.

  • HiveMCR is an absolutely awesome event. The speakers and content are top-tier, the atmosphere is electric, and there's a real sense of community and fun. Wouldn't miss it for the world.

    What an incredible conference! The lineup was inspiring, the venue spot on, and the networking second to none. It had that rare, old-school spirit where the real point is to share, care, and connect. Huge well done to the HiveMCR team
