The
DOMAINfestGlobal
conference, coming up January 28-30 in Hollywood,
California, has scored a major coup by signing Apple
Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak as their
keynote |
speaker. In Wozniak, this
annual show, produced by DomainSponsor
(the domain monetization division of Oversee.net),
landed a Silicon Valley icon who is one of the most
influential and colorful innovators in technology
history.
In 1985,
for his achievements at Apple, President Reagan
awarded Wozniak the National Medal of Technology,
the highest honor bestowed on America's leading
innovators. In 2000, Wozniak was inducted into the Inventors
Hall of Fame and was awarded the prestigious Heinz
Award for Technology, The Economy and Employment.
In
recent years, Wozniak has been involved with other Apple
alumni in developing a number of telecommunications and
technology companies. He also is a founder of the Electronic
Frontier

Wozniak (also known as "The Woz")
published his autobiography, iWoz: From Computer
Geek to Cult Icon.
Oversee

Ng said, ""It's a great honor to
have Steve Wozniak join us as keynote speaker at
DOMAINfest Global 2009. His innovative thinking and
pioneering spirit inspires all of us. Guests at DOMAINfest
are sure to walk away with a renewed sense of
entrepreneurial determination after listening to Steve's
insights and experiences."
