Hi Jay,

It looks like Mozcon used to be called "PRO Training".  In previous years, they typically had about 150 seats available.  However, I don't see any information online that specifies the number of seats available this year.

Regarding what to expect, check a review that I found:

Being that I've never attended, I hope that someone will reply with their first-hand experience.

Awesome!  Thanks for the update!  I've been using the Open Site Explorer to find high ranking directory lists.  However, it would be nice to have an experienced source for that info.

Hi Dave,

Most websites that have a review structure frown upon giving something in return for a review.  Yelp is very clear on these guidelines:

On the Google site, this is known as a conflict of interest:

"Reviews are only valuable when they are honest and unbiased. Even if well-intentioned, a conflict of interest can undermine the trust in a review. For instance, do not offer or accept money or product to write positive reviews about a business, or to write negative reviews about a competitor. Please also do not post reviews on behalf of others or misrepresent your identity or affiliation with the place you are reviewing."

I hope that helps!
