Last
fall I
told you
that Inverdom.com
CEO Dietmar Stefitz, who has staged the
biggest annual domain conference in Spain
for the past three years, was planning to take
the event to a new level in 2012. His
first step in that direction was adding veteran
show producer Jodi Chamberlain (who is
one of the 15 experts featured in our current
Cover Story) to his team. Together
they are producing Europe's
Domaining2012 conference April
26-28, 2012 at the Sorolla Palace Hotel
in historic and beautiful Valenica, Spain.

Dietmar
Stefitz and Jodi Chamberlain
are producing the Domaining 2012 conference
coming up in Valencia, Spain April
26-28

I
have heard much praise of Dietmar's previous
shows, none higher than I heard just last week
from Michael
Castello of Castello
Cities Internet Network while we
were having lunch after the DOMAINfest
Global conference in Santa Monica,
California. Michael and his brother David were
keynote speakers at Dietmar's last
conference in Valencia and Michael
told me it was one of the most enjoyable shows
he had ever attended. He said the way the
show was run, the beauty of the city of Valencia
and the friendliness of the Spanish people were
all incomparable.

With
Michael's words ringing in my ears and a
personal invitation from Jodi for Diana
and I to attend the April 2012 show, I'm
happy to say that we have made plans
to be there and are looking forward
to meeting and making many new friends
on that side of the ocean. It will also
be exciting for us to be able cover the
event for DN Journal
readers. |
I
can already see that we are going to be in good
company. A peek at the very early agenda
already shows a great line up of veteran domain
investors, brokers, developers, attorneys and
company executives on the program, including Jeff
Gabriel (DomainAdvisors.com), Braden
Pollock (who was featured in our December
2011 Cover
Story), Troy Rushton (Protrada.com),
Morgan Linton (MorganLinton.com), Toby
Clements (TobyClements.com), Tommy Butler
(Glasgow.com), Kathy Nielsen (Sedo.com), Frederick
Schiwek (DomainInvest.lu), Paul Keating
(RenovaLtd.com) and many many more. Valencia
itself will also be a star attraction. The
historic port city on the Mediterranean Sea
is Spain's 3rd largest city with a population of
over 800,000. About 2.3 million
people live in the Valencia metropolitan area.
In addition to its fabulous monuments, Valencia
known as the birthplace of paella, a
world famous staple of Spanish cuisine. Domaining2012
is shaping up to be something special and
with an early bird registration
fee of just €600, it also looks like
one of the best values in the conference
business. We look forward to seeing many of you
there! Diana
and I hope to see you at Domaining2012
in Valencia, Spain April 26-28, 2012
