Roger, Can You Please Help Get Me in Mozcon?
-
I am a newbie to amazing tools like Moz! Yup, I joined in December and there is no looking back and no regrets. Well, until now.
Here’s my sad story.
I have been hearing about Mozcon for months. And I have told a number of colleagues that I am definitely going to that! Especially since I have two reasons to go all the way to the Northwest in July… My 21YO son is a competitive snowboarder and video blogger living at Mt. Hood during the summer. I can visit him and go to Seattle for Mozcon.
When I checked the site for cost and tickets, the early bird incentive had already expired, so I figured I would pick up my ticket in July. I went ahead and booked the hotel and airfare from North Carolina.So, I am all set.
At the beginning of the month, I go to buy the ticket and they are SOLD OUT!
OMG!
I am already coming and there are no tickets for sale.
I had no idea that a workshop at the big Seattle convention center would sell out.
I know you guys are cool and that you have a super connected following, but SOLD OUT?
I had no idea.I wait listed myself, but I have heard nothing.
So… I am at the crossroads here…
ROGER! Can you please find just one more ticket for the newbie in North Carolina??
Please...
Please help if you can.So disappointed in NC~ Terry

Yay! You can mostly thank the people ahead of you on the waiting list who didn't grab the very cancellation-related tickets we had.
See you at MozCon!
-
Glad to hear it, and hope you have a great trip out here!
-
Got a waitlist notification. Yippee. I got a ticket!
Thank you for your support.

Not sure what happened... and I am so glad I had not yet cashed in my airplane ticket. This morning I got a waitlist notification. Thank you. Thank Roger. Thank Erica. Yippee. I got a ticket.
Best!
Terry

Thanks for letting me know.
I guess nothing feels as good as a ticket to go when you have everything else.
-
Thanks for the feedback.
I think the FAQs might say that we sold out in years past. But last year was our first year at the convention center and we didn't sell out by about 70 seats. This year, we upped the seats by a little over 100 and were unsure if we were going to sell out or not.
-
Yes, EricaMcGillivray, I'm not feeling very MozSmart right now.
Just as FYI for conference info on the site... I did not see anywhere that the event is likely to sell out. I would have acted much sooner. I'm a newbie and didn't know.
So... I will post on the FB group... and hope that someone will turn this frown upside down!

Gosh KeriMorgret~ you made 'sorry charlie, you are SOL' sound almost hopeful...

Hi Terry,
Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, it is true that MozCon is completely sold out. Every seat is the house -- 1,325 seats -- is booked.
Your best bets are on the waiting list, which to be completely transparent is running 160+ people. Or searching "MozCon" on Twitter or joining the MozCon Facebook Group as I've seen a few people post about having extra tickets in those places.
Sorry to not have a better answer.
If you're thinking about joining us for MozCon 2015, super early bird tickets go on sale right at MozCon, so keep an eye on our Moz social feeds and blog as we'll be posting about it.

Howdy!
So sorry to hear about the bad timing on this. I've routed your question to a coworker who can give more details, but right now I'd suggest joining the MozCon group on FB (in addition to being on the wait list). I've seen two different people on there have tickets they couldn't use, and they transfered them to someone else who responded within the group. I'll be crossing my fingers for you!

Going to Mozcon - what to do in Seattle
Hi I know this isn't technically an SEO question, but wanted people's advice. As I am flying half way round the world I am actually arriving on the Friday and have Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday to go and explore Seattle. I plan on going to watch a baseball game and visit the home of Starbucks (and I hate coffee, but thought might as well visit), but what else would people recommend doing / seeing in Seattle. Thanks in Advance Andy

[UPDATED] Any Q&A Regulars Attending MozCon Next Week?
[Update] Between here and the MozCon Facebook Group we've got a number of folks interested, so we're going to grab a table together for lunch on Tuesday at the conference. I'll try to mark it with something noticeable, or you can tweet me @thompsonpaul and I'll let you know where to find us. Hope to see lots of us there! [/Update] Hey gang - I'm wondering which Q&A regular (or irregular!) contributors are coming to MozCon next week? I know Dana Tan and Marie Haynes are for sure. So who else is coming? If there's a bit of a gang of us, it would be fun to connect up for a lunch table or a drink at some point during the event to meet each other face-to-face. Let me know in the comments, and if there are enough of us, I'll set something up. Paul

I'm trying to track down Jessica Bowman's Keyword Research ROI Excel template from this year's MozCon. Does it exist?
This presentation was awesome - and I've just encountered a pitch that would be ideal for this type of analysis. In looking through my notes from MozCon I don't see a download link - nor can I find one in the presentation. It was the 11:30 - 12:00pm timeslot on day 3 of MozCon: http://www.seomoz.org/mozcon-live/agenda Can someone point me in the right direction? Cheers, J

SEO MozCon 2012
Hello All, I'm new here in SEOmoz and I'm a Pro member. I currently have a couple of clients and growing. 🙂 My question is, I recently got an email about the SEO MozCon 2012 in Seattle going on in July. For those that have been to one of these in the past, can you tell me if this is worth the investment? Can you convince me why I should go? Thanks in advance! Jocelyn

Where can I find an SEO mentor?
I've been having difficulty finding an SEO mentor that can answer my questions and rate the strategy that I'm currently using, as well as bouncing ideas off their experience. Basically, most SEO companies will not want to do this, and will more likely want to sign you up for a monthly plan in link building, however I want to learn SEO on my own with my team, and many companies in Sydney, I guess, see us as competition and don't want to reveal their 'secrets'. I've read a bunch of books on SEO and we are starting our SEO campaign now, however having someone to speak to now and again to get feedback on our strategy would be invaluable, however is proving very difficult to find. On one hand, I know I just have to take action towards link building and other things,

however on the other side, it would be good to have someone to give a helping hand and bounce ideas off who has experience. If someone is interested in becoming a mentor for myself as I work to build my digital agency in Sydney pleaes get in contact with me. The pay is $30 - $40p/h depending on experience. Regards0 -
Mozcon Questions
Hello All, I'm a total newbie to SEOmoz and am totally addicted. I'm seriously considering going to Seattle Mozcon. I would really like to hear some feedback from newbies who went last year. It would be really nice to hear if you learned a lot and if you have incorporated some of your Mozcon education into your SEO strategy. It looks to be a pretty long event and every day seems to be completely filled with things I probably don't want to miss. That said, it would be a really large investment of my time. Is it worth all this time? Thanks!
