The
Domaining
Spain conference
will be returning to beautiful Valencia,
Spain next spring when show founder Dietmar
Stefitz will stage his 6th event in
the popular series. The 2014 show will run
May 8-10 with the centrally located
Hotel Sorolla Palace, once again
hosting the conference. With
a registration price of just €600
and room rates at the upscale Sorolla
Palace discounted to an astonishingly low
rate - just €70 a night,
Domaining Spain has always been one of the
world's best conference bargains. If you
want to go, we can make it even cheaper
for you to do so as Dietmar is allowing us
to give DN Journal readers a
registration code that will let you
buy your ticket for 50% off - just €300. Just
go to the registration
page and click on the length
that says "Click Here to Enter a
Promotion Code." In that field enter Valencia2014.
You can use some of the €300 you save to
enjoy some of the great food and wine
Valencia is known for (paella was invented
there). I
attended the 2012
conference in Valencia and found
everything from the conference sessions,
hotel and social events to the surrounding
city to be a complete delight. Valencia,
Spain's third largest city, is
located on the coast of the Mediterranean
Sea and features many world class
attractions near the waterfront. including
the biggest aquarium in Europe, Oceanogràfic. |

I
shot this photo at the futuristic Oceanogràfic
aquarium in Valencia while
we were there in the city for the 2012
Domaining Spain conference.
In
addition to any exploring you want to do on you
own (I highly recommend using the hop on hop off
double decker bus that stops at the Hotel
Sorolla Palace as a great way to get around
town) -
the show will have some
special group activities. One will be the
traditional Boat Tour at la Albufera, a
natural resource near Valencia. Any suggestions
for additional excursions can be sent to [email protected].
Stefitz, who is
currently putting together the agenda for the
2014 show, told me ccTLDs and new
gTLDs will be front and center at the show
with those topics examined from a European
point of view. More specifically, he
outlined these areas that will be covered:
--
What happened/s to the Domaining Industry (
Top Panel )
-- Trusting New gTLDs
-- Cooperation between ccTLDs and new gTLDs
-- Marketing Ideas and Proposals ( how to use
new GTLDs )
-- Community GTLDs ( awareness, can there be a
Business in this segment )
-- Legal Panel
-- Trademarks / Clearinghouse / News and Numbers
-- Registrars and GTLDs
-- .EU Past-Present-Future
-- Parking and UDRPs
-- How to negotiate selling or buying Domains
-- Crowd funding in the Domaining Industry
Stefitz also
issued an invitation to anyone who would
like to submit an idea for other discussion
topics and/or speak at the event to send a note
to [email protected].
He
is also booking ad space that will allow
companies to display their logo, put an item in
the show bag, leave items in guest rooms or have
three Spanish models wearing your company T
shirt.
