We
have barely a week left before
heading out for the 10th
anniversary edition of T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
The landmark T.R.A.F.F.I.C. East
conference gets underway at the
Fontainebleau Hotel on Miami
Beach with two days of pre-show
networking starting Wednesday,
October 29. The main event
begins with the opening night Welcome
Party Thursday evening
(October 30) with the show running
through Sunday morning, November
2.
Over
the weekend T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Co-Founders Rick Schwartz and

landmark
event. As part of their lead role
Verisign, who administers the
.com and .net extensions,
will host the always electrifying
opening night cocktail party October
30 that will be held at the LaCote Restaurant overlooking Miami Beach.
T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
also announced the winners of an essay
contest they ran on the topic "How attending T.R.A.F.F.I.C. has helped to change my life."
The top prize - a free ticket to
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. (worth $1500), a free
night in the hotel and a a private
limo to pick the winner up at the
airport - went to veteran domain
investor Alan Hack. You can read

Kaziyev also picked up prizes for
their submissions.

New
gTLDs will of course be
among the many topics tackled
at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. One of those
new extensions, .host,
is being featured in a nice
fundraising effort that BlueHost.com
is making to help boost
breast cancer awareness. |
|
Toward
that end, Bluehost has turned
Pink for the entire
month of October with a
special campaign running at www.pink.host.
Bluehost
received used of blue.host
and pink.host after being
selected for the TLD's pioneer
program. A portion of the
proceeds from every new
customer sign-up at Pink.host
in October will go to the Huntsman
Cancer Institute (HCI)
and 100% of these
contributions will be used for
cancer research. HCI
has one of the world’s
largest cancer research
facilities; delivering dozens
of new treatments to terminal
stage cancer patients.
Bluehost is also encouraging
customers to make
contributions through http://bit.ly/pinkhost. |
