Google's announcement states that "for the first time ever Search Central Live is coming to Bogota, Colombia on October 19", and that "the week before that, on October 15, we'll also come back to Ciudad de México". All links below were opened live on September 11, 2026 and returned HTTP 200.
- For Ciudad de México: the event will take place on October 15, between 8:30am and 1:30pm. Find out more about speakers and agenda on the event website. The announced registration deadline was Sep 16, 2026; confirm current access and venue details on Google's official pages.

- Google positions the two stops together with its previous editions of Search Central Live in Mexico and its past events in Argentina and Brazil, saying it wants "to meet as many of you as possible in Latin America".
- The invitation is addressed to SEOs, publishers, creators, digital marketers, and website owners, for "a mix of presentations on Google Search, Google Discover, News, and more". Some presentations will be held in English with Spanish translations available.
- Both stops are live events with limited access: Google encourages visitors "to register for a chance to get one of the free seats as early as possible". Registration for both cities closes Sep 16, 2026.

If you build or maintain sites in Latin America, the value is practical: in-person Q&A in two Spanish-speaking host cities, with examples closer to regional sites. Go if you ship content, run a store, or maintain client sites.

The inspection path is a useful companion to event notes: name the page, the technical surface, and the evidence that will tell you whether the change helped.
What to bring
- Search Console access for one real property. Bring 2-3 queries where impressions grew but clicks did not.
- One page losing to AI-influenced results. Note query, intent, and what the page actually answers.
- Technical baseline: sitemap, robots, canonicals, hreflang if multilingual, mobile Core Web Vitals.
- Three specific questions. Examples: how to show first-hand work, when to consolidate overlapping posts, how to debug indexing for new sections.

What not to expect
No ranking boost from attending. No private audit from Google. Take notes, then test one change at a time.
Turning notes into fixes
After the event, pick one template fix, one internal-linking rule, and one content refresh. If you need build help, start from scope:
- Services — scope, exclusions, base prices including Website review from US$19
- Journal — related SEO and development notes
- Build my estimate — complete the brief, review estimate, save request to continue
