SEO For Paws Live Stream Conference: Free Tickets & Big Names For A Good Cause via @sejournal, @theshelleywalsh

The next SEO For Paws will be held on Sept. 23, 2026.

The live stream conference features a stellar speaker list that includes some of the industry’s best-known names in search, headlined by Barry Schwartz and Glenn Gabe.

This year, the event leans into the question everyone in search is trying to answer: what happens to SEO as AI reshapes how people find things? Between Barry, Glenn and the rest of the lineup, expect insights into the state of play in search right now across SEO and AI search.

SEO for Paws is a live-streamed fundraiser founded by Anton Shulke, an expert at organizing events, out of a cause close to his heart.

Anton has tirelessly continued the work of SEO for Paws, which he founded to help the many pets in Kyiv, Ukraine. This event alone has raised approximately $6,700 for the shelters, and across all of SEO for Paws to date, more than $100,000 has been raised through donations and sponsorship, with the money going straight to where it’s needed.

It Started With Just One Kitten

Among the many pet shelters that SEO For Paws has helped is an apartment run by Oksana, who cares for up to 64 animals.

Oksana has always loved animals and after taking in her first kitten, which gradually became a second, a third and then a dog. She took in kittens who are abandoned at dachas, who would be drowned in villages after being unwanted by anyone. She hand-fed them, treated them, cared for them, and found them homes. When the war happened, the city streets filled with discarded former pets and this is when the home shelter became a reality out of necessity.

Now 60 cats and 4 dogs live with Oksana. They are fed, treated, and vaccinated, but most important of all, they are loved.

Without people like Oksana, these animals would have no one and nowhere to go.

Running a home-based shelter is not easy and to keep supporting individuals like Oksana, they need your help. There are plenty of ways to donate on the SEO Charity site.
