and
Howard Neu). Dr. Ham has to be the world's
best-known domainer after being featured in a Business
2.0 Magazine Cover Story by Paul Sloan
(titled "The
Man Who Owns the Internet" in 2007.
The
congratulations are in order, not because of Dr. Ham's
fame, but because of the value of the message he will
bring to the conference and its attendees as a speaker.
Dr. Ham delivered an impromptu
speech during a panel session at T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
West in Las Vegas last year and the
few who heard it live will never forget it. I happened
to have been sitting on the panel that morning and soon
after the talk ended I wrote the paragraph below for
this column:
"For
me and many others, the highlight of today's schedule
has been an unexpected delight delivered by Kevin
Ham of Reinvent Technology. During the day's first panel
discussion, Dr. Ham, probably the most |
|
financially
successful domain investor of all time, delivered a
spontaneous from the heart talk about what constitutes real
success in life that, with its focus on family and
loved ones, left some in the room near tears. It was one
of the most eloquent and moving speeches I have ever
heard and Ham was given a well deserved standing
ovation when he finished. Since it was early in the
morning and most registrants slept in after being out
late last night, only a few were lucky enough to be in
the room when Ham started talking. I'm sure glad I was
one of them."
The
European domain community is in for a real treat
in Amsterdam next month. |
