It's
show time! And that of course means we are on
the road again. I will be traveling to Los
Angeles Tuesday (Jan. 27), so there will be no
Lowdown post that day while I make my way to
|
|
Hollywood for the
big DOMAINfest
Global Conference at the Renaissance
Hotel. Oversee.net
is staging the event and their team, led by company President
Jeff Kupietzky, are pulling out all the stops to
make this a great show.
Things get underway with a
"boot camp" for industry newcomers Tuesday and
I will be arriving just in time to join a 5:30pm
(Pacific time) panel that will discuss "The Art
& Science of Buying and Selling Domains".
I'll have the pleasure of joining Monte Cahn (Moniker.com),
Lance Wolak (PIR, the .org registry), Kathy
Nielsen (Sedo.com) and Anthos Chrysanthou (Lease
Domains Inc.) on the dais. Our session will be ably
moderated by Oversee's Chris Sivertsen. That will
be the last of four boot camp seminars with the first
one kicking off at 1:30pm. You can get details on the entire
show agenda here. |

The main
event will be held Wednesday and Thursday with a
farewell breakfast bringing down the curtain Friday
morning. I'll have a daily show highlights post in this
column starting Wednesday morning and, as always, we
will publish the industry's most comprehensive
conference review by the end of next week.

Tim
Burns
Domainer Mardi Gras Keynote Speaker |
There is more news
from the show circuit today. Modern
Domainer Magazine has announced the
keynote speaker for their first Domainer
Mardi Gras Conference coming up February
19-21 at the Westin Canal Place in New
Orleans. At 11am on Friday, Feb. 20, noted
author, professor, entrepreneur, lawyer,
certified public accountant, and member of the Louisiana
House of Representatives, Tim
Burns will provide the keynote
address. Burns will provide his perspective on
the economic and political forces that will
impact the domain space in 2009 and field
questions from the audience that will help
attendees manage their risk in uncertain times.
This show will be
held during Mardi Gras and attendees will
get a great view of what's happening on Bourbon
Street from a private balcony

Looking
a little further down the road, RickLatona.com
has just opened a special page on the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
website to provide details on the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
ccTLDs Conference they are putting
on June 1-4 in Amsterdam, Holland.
This will be the first T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
show ever held in Europe and the first
show devoted entirely to ccTLDs (country
code extensions like the Netherlands' .nl.
Great Britain's .co.uk, Germany's .de
and France's .fr - to name just a few).
This conference will be held at the historic NH
Grand Krasnapolsky Hotel across from the Royal
Palace in Dam Square.
It's
true that there are a lot of domain conferences
these days, but with the competition among
promoters continually raising the bar like this,
these shows are just too good to miss. |
