How to Persuade Your Boss to Send You to Ahrefs Evolve in San Diego

Due to popular demand, Ahrefs Evolve returns to San Diego—bigger and better than ever.

After hosting over 600 marketers for our first US conference last October, we’re returning to San Diego in 2026. Same city, bigger stage, and—dare I say it?—an even better agenda.

And there’s only one teeny-tiny little thing standing between you and two days of world-class talks and networking: your boss (and their Q4 budget).

So here are four reasons your boss should send you to Ahrefs Evolve (with a handy email you can send them).

    Request to Attend Ahrefs Evolve 2026 – San Diego, CA

    Hi [Manager’s Name],

    I’d like to request approval to attend Ahrefs Evolve 2025, happening October 12–13 at the InterContinental San Diego.

    This is Ahrefs’ flagship marketing conference—two focused days showcasing how the best teams are actually winning in AEO, SEO, and modern search.

    I believe attending will bring immediate value to our team—especially for [mention specific project or initiative].

    Why it’s worth attending:

    1. Strategic insights, not fluff.     The agenda includes practical sessions from top CMOs, SEO leaders, and marketers, like Ann Handley, Ross Simmonds, Rand Fishkin, and Aleyda Solis.

    2. Even more value from our Ahrefs subscription. I can get direct access to the Ahrefs team, including 1:1 sessions with Ahrefs product experts, plus a masterclass on how to win in AEO and SEO using Ahrefs.

    3. Valuable connections. Evolve brings together 600+ attendees from leading brands and agencies. The networking opportunities could
    lead to idea exchanges, partnerships, and new perspectives that benefit our work.

    4. Real impact back at work.     I’ll document key learnings and share takeaways with the team through internal notes, recaps, or a short workshop. The goal is to ensure this investment translates into smarter strategies and improved outcomes.

    Let me know if we can set aside a few minutes to discuss. I’m confident this will be a worthwhile opportunity to elevate
    our work.

    Thanks,
    [Your Name]
