The
2008 T.R.A.F.F.I.C. West conference concluded
this morning in Las Vegas with a farewell breakfast
and a meeting of the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Advisory Board, a
panel elected by T.R.A.F.F.I.C. attendees each year to
provide suggestions for future conference themes, programs
and locations. The next T.R.A.F.F.I.C. event will be in
Orlando, Florida May 20-24 at Walt Disney World's
Grand Floridian Resort. It is being billed as the
first family-oriented T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference with
registrants encouraged to bring their spouses and children
for the event. Our last post was written last night while Moniker's
SnapNames Live Domain Auction was underway. That event
ended with $4.3 million in sales, led by
SkiResorts.com ($850,000), Meds.com ($460,000),
DVDs.com ($300,000) and CPC.com ($200,000). |
Veteran
domain investor Michael Berkens has the full list
of auction results on his blog here.
On another page, Berkens also posted commentary
that we think accurately sums up the overall results from
this auction as they relate to the current state of he
overall domain market.
We will be
heading back to our home base in Florida tomorrow to begin
work on our comprehensive conference wrap-up article that
will appear on our home page by the end of next week. We
have more than 1,200 photos and piles of notes to sort
through in the meantime so that we can produce the
definitive event chronicle you have come to expect from
us.
