Central Live in Sydney. Keep in mind that this event is tailored specifically for the Australia
and New Zealand communities, rather than being a broader regional gathering. <\/p> ![\"Search](\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/static\/search\/blog\/images\/search-central-live-apac\/2026\/search-central-live-sydney-2026-logo.png\" "\\"Search"){kind=logo}

looking for lightning talk speakers<\/strong>! If you have an exciting SEO case study, a
unique technical implementation, or a short topic you want to share with the local community, we
want to hear from you. And if you’re wondering what a lightning talk is, it’s a 7-minute
presentation on the topic of your choice. Why 7? We like 7. In any case, if you will be around
Sydney on May 22 and are interested in taking the stage, be sure to
propose your lightning talk topic(s) by April 19<\/strong> on the registration form. For
participants, apply on the same form by May 4. <\/p> Search Central Live Shanghai 2026<\/h2>
Mandarin-Chinese-speaking audience, currently targeting May 15, 2026<\/strong>. We are
still finalizing the exact date and venue, but registration will be opening soon. Keep an eye out
for updates so you can secure your spot! <\/p>
Read in Traditional Chinese <\/p> What’s Next for India and Other Locations?<\/h2>
We are currently deep into planning for an SCL India event, potentially two, which will likely
take place in Q4 of 2026<\/strong>. We highly recommend waiting for these local events
rather than applying for our other SCL events. We promise it will be worth the wait! <\/p>
might be coming to you! <\/p> An Update on the Deep Dive Format<\/h2>
not-so-positive? Well, this isn’t one of those cases. <\/p>
Search Central Live Deep Dive Bangkok 2025, and we know you love it! Because of this tremendous reception, we are thinking about rotating
the Deep Dive experience to the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa)<\/strong> region
this year. While we won’t be hosting a Deep Dive in APAC for 2026, we are excited to potentially
bring this immersive format to a brand-new audience. If you have attended the Deep Dive APAC 2025,
the content is going to be largely the same (not that much changed in Search after all), so it’s
unlikely you’re going to miss out. <\/p> We Can’t Wait to See You!<\/h2>
submit your lightning talk pitches by April 19<\/strong>
if you are joining us at Search Central Live Sydney 2026, and stay tuned to our channels for the
upcoming registration links for Greater China and India! <\/p>
