SEO For Paws will host a free live stream conference featuring industry experts on September 23, 2026, to raise funds for pet shelters in Kyiv, Ukraine.

The online event aims to support animals affected by the ongoing conflict, having already contributed more than $100,000 in total donations for Ukrainian pet welfare initiatives, with approximately $6,700 specifically generated by this conference.

The conference is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. UK, according to organizers.

Anton Shulke, a representative for SEO For Paws, stated that all proceeds from the event would directly benefit cats and dogs in Ukraine, including those housed at Oksana’s shelter.

Headline speakers for the virtual gathering include prominent SEO figures Barry Schwartz and Glenn Gabe. Other featured experts are Lisa Paasche, Michał Suski, Martin Stepanek, Zach Chahalis, Ana Precup, and Louisa Frahm.

Discussions during the live stream will focus on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on search engine optimization and how these advancements are reshaping information discovery, according to a statement from SEO For Paws.

While attendance for the live stream conference is free, participants are strongly encouraged to make donations. SEO For Paws emphasized that every contribution helps provide essential care and support for animals in war-torn regions.

The initiative highlights the role of the digital marketing community in addressing humanitarian concerns, with organizations like Search Engine Journal and SEO Charity also involved in similar efforts.
