DOMAINfest
Announces Return to Europe With Conference in Prague
October 6-7, 2010
|
DomainSponsor
announced today
that they will stage a DOMAINfest
Europe conference in Prague,
Czech Republic October 6-7, 2010. A number
of sites have reported that this will be the
first DOMAINfest in Europe but that is not the
case. Before the first
DOMAINfest Global conference was
held in Hollywood, California in January
2007, DomainSponsor had started the popular
series with a pair of regional events, one in Los
Angeles and another (in July 2006) in Barcelona,
Spain. I was not able to attend the
DOMAINfest Barcelona show but Jothan Frakes
was there and described the event in a post
on his blog a few days after it
ended. |

Since
those early shows DOMAINfest has grown by leaps
and bounds and they just completed their fourth
annual Global show with record
attendance in Santa Monica, California in
January. The Prague show at the Hotel
Intercontinental will likely be at least ten
times bigger than that friendly gathering in
Barcelona four years ago. A return of DOMAINfest
to Europe has been expected ever since November
2009 when DomainSponsor announced the
establishment of a European head office in Frankfurt,
Germany. |

DomainSponsor organizers
said "Subject-matter experts will be invited to
facilitate the networking sessions on Wednesday,
October 6th. The
first day will also include a Moniker® Premium
Domain Name Auction.
Day 2 will be focused on social activities
in and around Prague designed to provide the kind of
shared experiences that can contribute to the building
of long-term relationships between DOMAINfest Europe
attendees. Conference
details, including the agenda and speakers, will be
released in June 2010."

Peter
Celeste, the Senior Vice President of
DomainSponsor's parent, Oversee.net
(and General Manger of Oversee's Monetization
Services) said, “DOMAINfest Europe is an
excellent opportunity for European publishers,
online marketers, and domain-related service
providers to meet and discuss ways to increase
the value of domain names, which we like to
refer to as Internet real estate." "The
DomainSponsor team looks forward to becoming
more engaged with the European domain investor
community, and this forum is the perfect venue
to exchange ideas and build relationships.
As with all DOMAINfest events, we will be
offering affordable registration rates to
encourage maximum participation from a wide
range of talented professionals from both inside
and outside our industry.” |
