SEO Career Summit FAQ

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Nibh rhoncus ipsum dui porta pretium at et a quis.

No, the SEO Career Summit is a mandatory training and event exclusive to SEO interns.

The Summit takes place in late May (dates fluctuate slightly year over year), usually a week or two before the start of summer internships.

We review applications for Edge on an ongoing basis and candidates are selected to receive career prep resources, training, and coaching year-round. Candidates seeking summer internships with our partners are reviewed October through April and selections are made on a rolling basis.

Note: You may apply at any time to Edge for professional development support, beginning in your first year of college.

While there’s no replacing an in-person experience, we understand that not everyone can get to NYC for the event. If you can’t make it in person, we’ve taken steps to ensure you can log in virtually, that Summit remains engaging and you’ll feel like you’re in the room.
