Based on other reviews, such as the following one, the jury appears to be still out: I have attended previous Xplode conferences in past years and was very disappointed in this year's event. The conference has turned more into a sales pitch than a tech seminar. Each presenter had a turn at selling their wares and was more hype than substance. I did subscribe to one offer and so far the promises fall short of what was stated. To be fair, I am giving the offering company time to produce what was promised, so for now, the jury is still out.
