Well,
I have to admit
I didn't see this one coming! Oversee.net
has selected celebrity/entrepreneur Kim
Kardashian to be the keynote speaker at
the Webfest
Global Conference coming up February
5-7, 2013 at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel
in Santa Monica, California. I'm
sure some of you are saying "what does Kim
Kardashian have to do with domains?"
but keep in mind that Webfest Global (formerly
known as DOMAINfest Global) had expanded its
scope this year (hence the name change) to
cover a much broader range of online
business topics. As
many of you know, in addition to being a reality
TV star, Kim is a very successful entrepreneur
who has leveraged her brand to build
many successful businesses, including ShoeDazzle.com,
and to help many charities like the Dream
Foundation. She is also known for her
phenomenally successful use of social media
that includes some 17 million followers
on Twitter.

Oversee.net’s
CEO Debra Domeyer will talk with Kim
about what went into building her
businesses and brand in an on stage fireside
chat scheduled for 11am Wednesday,
February 6. It will certainly be a change of
pace from some of the conference's
previous keynote speakers like Twitter
Founder Biz Stone, GoDaddy
Founder Bob Parsons and Apple Computer
Co-Founder Steve Wozniak, but I have a
feeling it is going to be an interesting and
lively conversation.
With Webfest
undergoing an image makeover
for this 7th conference in the annual series,
Kim would seem to fit in with the remodeling theme and she certainly gives the Los
Angeles based show some of the kind of Hollywood
glamour you might expect for a conference
based in the movie and TV capital of the world.
I will be in Santa Monica to cover
Webfest Global for you with daily posts in this
column.
