T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Expands Agenda and Adds 2nd Keynote Speaker for
This Month's Conference in Las Vegas
|
We
published
an in-depth T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
West preview
interview with
conference Co-Founders Rick
Schwartz and Howard Neu
last week but since then, Schwartz,
who assembles the program, has added
some new elements, including a
second keynote speaker. With the
show at the Bellagio Hotel in
Las Vegas just two weeks
away, Schwartz announced today that
the former President and CEO of Vegas.com,
Howard Lefkowitz, would join
previously announced keynoter, Dwayne
Forrester, the Senior Product
Manager at Bing.com,
at the top of the marquee,
With
respect to Lefkowitz, Schwartz said,
"Besides being brilliant,
Howard is quite entertaining and he
will tell you things you may not
want to hear. It won't be
politically correct either. So come
with an open mind and leave with a
truck full of ideas!"

Schwartz,
who has historically worked on
the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
agenda almost up to
opening day in an effort to
present the most currently
relevant program possible,
added "we still have two additional sessions that will be
announced next week that just
may shake things up even
further. We don't shy away
from the big issues, we tackle
them head on and the chips
will fall where they may."
Schwartz
said he expected to make his
final decisions on the program
by this time next week. The
event runs from Wednesday
evening, May 28,
through
|
Saturday
morning, May 31, but
many will come early for the
pre-show Cabana Networking that
starts May 27 (the day
after Memorial Day).
Though he is still putting the
finishing touches on the
agenda Schwartz said, "the focus of the show is taking a domain and making a business out
of it. We will have at least three
sessions just focusing on
that."
There
was another intriguing bit of
information
in an email Schwartz sent to
everyone on the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
mailing list this morning. He
wrote, "this will be our last show in Las Vegas as we prepare to move
operations to the west coast
(more about that some other
time). That is news to me and
since it seems unlikely that
longtime South Florida
residents Schwartz and Neu
will personally be moving
west, it will be interesting
to see what this new location
for "operations"
entails.
