The latest T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference is now history but two more meetings for domainers will get underway over the next seven days, with both of those being held outside the U.S. First up

Cracow, Poland - host city for the 
MeetDomainers conference Oct. 3-4

will be MeetDomainers, a show that will be staged in Cracow, Poland this coming Friday and Saturday (Oct. 3 & 4). The event will include a live auction Saturday afternoon at 4:30 (local time in Cracow), powered by Aftermarket.pl, Poland's largest aftermarket site (you can view the auction list and register to bid through the link in this sentence).

 Show organizers said "Almost one hundred people will participate in this event – experts in domain investing, hosting services, web development and domain parking. Many different topics will be covered including the aftermarket, drop catching, parking 

and registration. Discussions will also focus on the ccTLD market, domain investing and legal issues as well."

The spotlight then switches to Canada where the first DomainConvergence conference will be held in Niagara Falls, Ontario from October 6-8. This event will also feature a live premium domain name auction that will be operated by Fusu, a new domain aftermarket specialist. That sale will begin at 3pm (EST) on Wednesday, Oct. 8. The auction is scheduled to run for one hour and unsold domains will go into a seven-day Internet auction. Fusu will charge a 15% fee to the seller, plus 1% of the reserve price (paid upfront) as a listing fee to encourage lower reserves. Domain owners can submit their domains via email to [email protected] until Oct. 4 (include your reserve price as well as your postal address and phone number).

Frank Michlick, the chairman of DomainConvergence, said "Our aim is to put together a great conference for the Canadian and international domainer community, filled with valuable sessions and opportunities to network. The live auction is the icing on the cake." You can get $100 off the standard registration fee of $599, by entering the code "dnjournal" when you sign up to attend. 

Elsewhere, the Extended Online Auction for T.R.A.F.F.I.C. New York will close Thursday (Oct. 2) at 3:15pm (U.S. Eastern time). More than 2,000 domains are open for bidding on the SnapNames auction platform. You can get more information and enter the auction here: www.moniker.com/extendedauction

Also don't forget that the online Bids for Kids charity domain auction we told you about last month starts tomorrow (October 1) and runs through Friday. Bidjit.com is hosting the bidding and you can check out the catalog hereSmashFactory.com is helping produce the event which will raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
