Last week, approximately 800 marketers from across the globe converged in Seattle for our annual conference, MozCon. The entire Moz staff attended as well, and we were all quite excited to have such a diverse set of attendees and speakers. For many of us, it was an experience we won't soon forget. Between the amazing speakers and brilliant content, to networking with the community, and even singing karaoke at the Garage, it was a magical three days.
I wanted to wrap all the great photos, posts, and presentations into one neat package, to make it quick and easy to find everything. So let's just jump right in!

Look at this photograph...
(every time I do it makes me laugh)
With so much love for Roger going around, we tried to get photos with him and as many people as possible. We've uploaded all the photos and you can view and download them from our Facebook page.
Check out all the photos with Roger:
But don't worry, those aren't all the photos! We went all out this year, and our photographer got shots of all the speakers and tons of pics around the conference and at the Garage party. We'd absolutely love for you to tag yourself in the photos and please feel free to download them and use them! Check out all the photos:

Presentations o'plenty
Yes, there will be videos to purchase. Whew! I just wanted to get that out of the way since that's the question we keep getting asked most often. :) We hope to have them available in the coming weeks, so watch for a specific announcement about that.
We had an amazing lineup of speakers and have made all of their presentations available for download. Please feel free to check out the decks:

We're quite excited about all the coverage about MozCon and wanted to try to combine it all into one place. So let me just jump right in and be sure to check out all these great posts.

We put together a couple lists we used during the conference to help us keep track of what attendees were talking about (that is, when they were able to get wifi ;). You might want to follow these lists as well!

Plus, a huge thanks to Eventifier for putting together all the tweets, photos and videos that were tweeted with the #MozCon hashtag:
Amazing! Check out MozCon on Eventifier - All the tweets + images + videos from MozCon!

Our fabulous photographer (and my husband) Rudy Lopez, even got to have a little fun.
For those of you who joined us this year, be sure to watch your email for a post-conference survey. We look forward to your feedback!
What a magic resource this post is, dear Jen.
Über useful hub of #mozcon related content... lovely :)
It was a wonderful experience to attend Mozcon and meet IRL the Moz staff, the speakers and all the mozzers.
And, as we say in Italy, there no 2 without a 3. See you next year Seattle.
Thanks so much for making it out again this year! We love having you in the office and getting to spend some IRL time with you. :) See you next year!
Thanks for coming. It was great to meet you in person! And I'm glad that we got to spend some non-MozCon time together too. :)
Best. Time. Ever.
I made some *really* good friends - love Seattle! xxx
=) Yes, fun was had.
Thank you Jen for your post and including the photo with Roger :)
MozCon is by far the best conference I've attended. Thank you all very much for the opportunity! I had a great time presenting, connecting and learning. I've written also a post about the experience.
I really look forward for MozCon 2013 :D
I love that pic! I had to include it. :) I've also added your post to the list, I'm sorry I had missed it before!
It was wonderful seeing you again, and thanks so much for rocking that stage. :)
Thanks for being part of our awesome lineup. I loved your Star Wars Lego slide theme. :)
It was also great to spend non-MozCon time with you. Hope to see you soon!
Best. Conference. EVER.
I learned so much, met so many people who I'd been following for years, and -- better still -- serendipitously met a ton of new people who I never would bumped into had it not been for this show. You know, just like when people use Google -- they find awesome things that they didn't even know were out there!
SEOmoz really takes care of their attendees and makes everything fun, from arriving to getting coffee and snacks to attending the great parties. Everything was a heightened experience, designed to facilitate the most enjoyment, learning, and networking.
Thanks for bringing together all the presentations and coverage and photos all in one place, Jen!
Thanks, Jon, for being part of the incredible event. You were awesome.
Great post and resource, Jen. Thanks for compiling this. And yes, Mozcon was by far the best conference I've ever been to. So many great people and so much knowledge in one place. #Win
Thank you for putting together that awesome post with all the tools and such! That alone is an amazing resource. :) Always love seeing you also!
Thanks for coming, Thomas. It was great to meet you in person!
Seriously - you guys completely blew last year away... Every single little detail rocked... and while we all had fun bitching about the wifi, I think it actually resulted in a more engaged audience.
It was great meeting so many Twitter friends IRL, and even cooler to make new friends in person.
Can't WAIT for next year!
It's kinda fun to one-up ourselves every year. :) We look forward to seeing you next year!
The conference was kick ass! Thanks for inviting me to be a part of it :)
Thank you! So glad you joined us this year. Btw this was waiting for me today at my desk... thought you'd get a kick.
Thank you for being part of our awesome lineup! :)
Thanks so much for putting this together Jen! IRL RULES!!
So great to finally meet you!
Thanks for coming, Dan. It was great to meet you IRL. :)
I'd propose that @RuthBurr's entire tweet stream for all three days should count as a recap. She put as much content out on there as any of the rest of us did after the event. I hear she might be posting it to her own website soon?
+100
Great to meet you, Kane!
I can't believe you got me, Jen! You and that damnable Nickleback. Well played... but you are not a Jedi yet...
This was my first SEO conference and everyone I spoke with over the four days I was in Seattle told me it is the best. Every session was great, but even more than that every day provided so many opportunities to network with other SEOs. It was great to meet and then have in-depth conversation with people I follow on Twitter and blogs.
Everyone I spoke with commented on how they loved that the speakers were able to present at length about their topics which is apparently not something that happens at other Internet Marketing conferences. Having gone to many developer conferences in the past, I know it takes time to properly present on an exciting idea; so I agree with these people and am glad I was able to experience an SEO conference without "discussion panels".
Really glad you enjoyed it! And I loved meeting you. :)
Great Job Jen! It was an awesome time! Looking forward to next year already! SEOMoz really knows how to throw a conference and make everything about the users / attendees! Congrats to everyone!
Thanks Sean. :) See you next year!
Great recap for us non-attendants, too!
Like the link with all the presentations. Although some slides are "not for public" they are really a great alternative for the missed sessions.
And - not to forget - huge impulse to try to attend next time!
We'd love to have you next year Petra! :)
Thanks for the link love Jennita. Your talk was awesome and MozCon was very impressive. The event was planned/run beautifully and I can't believe all of the good information that was shared.
Go SEOmoz Go!
This is my second #mozcon I've attended, and it's definitely not the last. I look forward to Seattle & the team every year!
Seriously great resource, the shout-out is much appreciated.
Besides the fact that everyone was super nice, the main thing that stuck with me is how much business got done at the conference. Not in a "I'm on my hustle" sort of way, more like a "can we help each other out?" kind of way. I'm already getting excited about the prospect of doing it again next year, and bringing as much of my staff as I can afford.
Hey Zeph it was great meeting you! Thanks for the post as well. :) Love that you were able to get business done at the conference. I really love to hear that. :) I hope we get to see a big team next year!
Thanks for sharing for those of us who couldn't make it - maybe next year.
Thanks, Jen!

Looking forward to next year!

Thanks Marc, that's a great video! I just added it to the list above. Thank you :) See you in 2013!
Thank you Jen for this!
For the people who somehow didn’t manage to attend the event this is an awesome gift from SEOmoz and you!
I really appreciate the link of all the presentations and photos that are up on the facebook page…. this make me feel really good!
Thanks Moosa! We just have so much stuff all over the place I wanted to get it all one spot.
First Mozcon = Best professional experience ever
I'll be there again and again.

Man, prior to the conference I was so sad that I couldn't go. This post has elevated my sadness to a whole new level. This truly does sound like the best marketing conference in the world!
We hope to see you next year!
This is an amazing example of an event recap! Pics are great too!
Why thank you! I'm proud to say that my husband, Rudy Lopez is the official SEOmoz photographer. :)
Yeah, thanks for sharing all the stuff and infos for those, who couldn't make it. Time to make some travel plans for the next year and make it over the great pound (...) or you come over to Germany. Will offer some hugs and cupcakes for Roger. ;-)
Keep up the great work :-)
Hi Jen, what a fabulous conference! Only just got back to Australia. I am looking for the vids to review again, in particular Marty's. Can you post please or PM me.
Cheers
Virginia
Hi Virginia! Be sure to watch the blog as we'll be opening up the videos for sale in the next week or so. Thanks!
Hey Jen, just noticed that in the caption of Marty & Rand's photo, Marty is missing a T... Therefore it reads reads Mary! You'd better change that before he notices it and comes chasing you with all that energy he has! :D
I really wished I could've attended. Hopefully, I can make it next year. Looks like a lot of fun.
