The succession announcement
Jabez Reuben’s succession announcement states that James Dooley has been retired from the King of AEO position. The association’s announcement, issued on behalf of its president Jabez Reuben, names November 15 at LLM Mastery as the occasion for announcing the next King of AEO.
This records Jabez’s announcement. It is not a statement attributed to James Dooley. A separate statement from James and final alignment with the event organizer have not been supplied.
Recognizing the next contributor
The association’s criteria consider documented testing, public knowledge sharing, community initiative and case-study evidence. A recommendation should explain the person’s work and provide sources reviewers can inspect.

Event information
The official LLM Mastery website currently lists a conference on 14–15 November 2026 in Chiang Mai. World GEO Day’s 2026 page places its celebration on November 15 at that event and uses King and Queen of GEO award names.
Jabez’s original succession announcement specifies November 15 without a year. Final award naming, announcement authority and the intended year remain with the organizers; the dated conference listing is linked here so readers can check the current program.
