About MnSearch, the Midwest’s Premier Search & Digital Marketing Community
History of MnSearch
We started in 2011 with a small group of dedicated folks who formed our original board and who sought to hold networking meetings where attendees could grow and learn from one another.
Thanks to our first few successful annual conferences (the MnSearch Summit), we’ve now grown into a nationally recognized search and digital marketing organization known for high-quality programming and a friendly, welcoming community.

We deliver practical, no-fluff content that today’s marketers can use immediately—because staying current shouldn’t feel overwhelming.

Our community is made up of real marketers doing real work—accessible, collaborative, and committed to growing together.

Whether you're here to sharpen your skills, find a mentor, or land your next role, MnSearch is where your marketing journey levels up.
Mission & Values
Our mission has held steady since our beginnings: to seek knowledge, gain insight and stay connected.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging
We aim to create a welcoming community that makes everyone feel comfortable, encourages recognition, and remains open to all voices and perspectives.
