Prescription for Success: Domains Made Dr. Kevin Ham Incredibly Wealthy But He Says His Life's Work Has Just Begun  

Dr. Kevin Ham - everyone in this industry knows the name but only a handful of people really know the man. When you run a domain business that reportedly generates well over $1 million a week from various domain-related ventures and a portfolio of approximately 300,000 names, it is easy for the statistics to overshadow the human being behind them. Especially when that person is as humble and self-effacing as the 37-year-old Canadian doctor from Vancouver 

Despite all of his success, the domain business was actually a detour Ham took in an effort to realize bigger goals. We talked with him about how he got where he is today and where he plans to go now that the financial obstacles that had blocked his dreams are out of the way. It is an inspiring entrepreneurial success story about the power of faith and love and the importance of family and friends - the things Ham believes really matter in life.

T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Ready for Disney World Debut: Conference Organizers Expect A Magical Experience This Month in Orlando

By Ron Jackson

Attendees at the next T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference will be greeted by entirely new surroundings. The fifth Florida show in the pioneering series of domain conferences moves to Disney World's plush Grand Floridian resort in Orlando after four years in South Florida. I called on T.R.A.F.F.I.C. co-founders Rick Schwartz and Howard Neu to get the inside story on the venue change, as well as what is in store for registrants when they arrive at the Magic Kingdom for the May 20-24 event. 

Howard Neu: There is something very magical about Disney World.  Rick and I were captivated by the staff there and the things that they could do to make our next conference great.  We are purposely making this a family fun show and the networking opportunities will be the best ever

Rick Schwartz: Finding good venues is our single hardest job. We have to find the right place, with the right facilities and overall ambience to make the conditions right for what we are looking to accomplish. Disney was a real long shot until we went there. I think you can’t help but get inspired when you look at the creativeness surrounding you and the vision and a dream that one man had...   Click Here for Full Story

2008 Domain Roundtable Wrap Up: Networking Opportunities in Stunning San Francisco Setting Helped This Show Rise Above Auction Woes 

By Ron Jackson

After spending the first three years of its life in the Seattle area, where its parent company Name Intelligence, Inc. is based,  the Domain Roundtable conference pulled up stakes and hit the road for 2008. Show organizers proved they could travel in style, settling into the elegant Palace Hotel in downtown San Francisco for their April 18-21 run.  

The show was sandwiched in between two other major conferences in the City by the Bay, AdTech just before and Web 2.0 immediately after Roundtable. The domain conference pulled some people from each but that gain was offset by the dates conflicting with the Passover holiday that kept some domainers of the Jewish faith at home or resulted in them leaving early for seders (traditional dinners) Saturday night. The net result was an attendance figure that was about the same as 2007 but DRT drew a top notch group of attendees.

Simply Super: T.R.A.F.F.I.C. West 2008 Took Care of Business at Domain Industry Summit in Las Vegas

By Ron Jackson

When I headed out to Las Vegas Feb. 18 for the 2008 T.R.A.F.F.I.C. West conference the Super Bowl game that had been played two weeks earlier was still on my mind. The underdog Giants had knocked off the unbeaten and presumably unbeatable Patriots in one of the best NFL championship games ever. 

The game brought back a lot memories because I had the opportunity to cover several Super Bowls when I was a TV sportscaster in in the 1980's. In that era the transformation of the Super Bowl from football game to one of the country's premier business events was already well underway. Then as now just about every major corporation set up tents, threw great parties and sponsored special activities that drew clients and potential business partners like bees to honey. I was thinking about this on the way to Vegas because if the domain business has a Super Bowl the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference is it.
