I
am in San Diego today
where the 2009
GeoDomain Expo gets underway this evening
with a beach luau at the beautiful Catamaran Resort
& Spa where the show is being staged. The photo
below was taken early this morning from the balcony of
my room, which is less than 50 yards from the beach on
the Sail Bay section of Mission Bay. 
Though
the public Expo doesn't start until this evening there
are some private sessions currently underway for Associated
Cities members only. AC is the .com city
geodomain owner's association that stages the annual
show. Below is a shot from an outdoor luncheon served before
the member's sessions resumed this afternoon. 
After tonight's opening social event things will
get down to business Friday morning with welcoming
comments from San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders,
followed by a State of the Industry address from
Associated Cities President Dan
Pulcrano. There
will also be a full slate of seminars Friday. I'll be
moderating one of those, Newsmakers & Buzz
Generators, at 1:30pm local time. My panel will
featuring Elliot Silver from ElliotsBlog.com,
Andrew Allemann from DomainNameWire.com
and Sean Stafford from SiteGraduate.com.
We will be discussing the explosion of domain blogs and
news outlets and the role they play in meeting the
ever growing demand for news and information about the
industry.
