Fresh
Off Their World Cup Win Spain Is Now Gearing Up for the
Country's Biggest Domain Conference + Oversee CEO Jeff
Kupietzky's CNBC Interview is Now Online
Domain
conferencescontinue to spread around the globe and
another international event - one you may not
have heard about before - is coming up at the Hotel
Sorolla Palace in Valencia,
Spain September 23-25, 2010. Domaining
III(this site can be viewed in
Spanish, English or German - click on the flag
icons to switch languages), will be the third
edition of an event started in 2008 by Dietmar
Stefitz, CEO of Inverdom (Spanish
language site/English
site).
Last
year's show attracted
90 domain professionals who owned a cumulative
total of approximately 200,000 domain
names. Stefitz said he expects growing local
interest in domains to draw a record crowd for
the event this time out. He has already
confirmed Sedo
co-founder and CEO Tim Schumacher as one
of the keynote speakers for Domaining III.
Stefitz
said, "Domaining
III is the leading industry event in Spain,
attracting the country's most important domain
name investors and online entrepreneurs. With
top domainers from across Europe also cominng
in, we are sure this event will be a win win for
all attendees."
Stefitz said the conference agenda will
cover the latest market trends through seminars,
workshops and networking. "Additionally,
important issues like Search Engine Optimization
(SEO), the potential of new country code top
level domain name extensions (ccTLDs) or the
potential conflicts in terms of intellectual
property will be discussed," Stefitz
added.
Oversee
President & CEO Jeff Kupietzky
One other
note today - when I was vacationing
in the Carolinas at the beginning
of this month I unfortunately missed Oversee.net
President and CEO Jeff Kupietzky's
live appearance on CNBC-TV where
he was given an opportunity to explain
the value of high quality domain names
to a huge mainstream business
audience.
I'm sure
many of you missed the live broadcast as
well. Fortunately, thanks to YouTube,
the four-minute segment Jeff was
featured on is now available online. You
can check it out for yourself here
(this would also be a good link to send
friends and acquaintances who wonder if
you actually work in a real
business!)
We've all
been waiting for the day when the value
and importance of good domain names
become common knowledge on both Wall
Street
and Main Street. Kupietzky helped
moved the ball downfield for all of us
with his well prepared appearance on the
influential cable network.
