The folks at RickLatona.com are making final preparations for the big T.R.A.F.F.I.C. ccTLDs show they will be staging in Amsterdam June 1-4. A detailed updated conference schedule is now available on the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. website. T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conferences are very expensive to produce, but with this being the first ever T.R.A.F.F.I.C. show in Europe, the organizers want to make it possible for the largest possible number of  European residents to attend. As a result, they are offering a daytime pass for European residents only for just $395. This limited access pass won't include the evening events but it will give you the opportunity to attend the daily informational sessions and network with some of the world's top domainers. The full access pass for the week is $1,495. This conference will also feature a major domain auction on the closing day (June 4) starting at 4pm local time.

ICANN's next international meeting is coming up June 21-26 in Sydney, Australia. The .PRO Registry has announced that they will be the official sponsor for the event. Catherine Sigmar, general manager of RegistryPro, said “We’re excited and proud to support the 35th ICANN International Meeting. ICANN public meetings attract many of the best minds and influential companies in the Internet community in an energetic public forum...meeting sponsorship is a chance for us to connect with our core customers, accredited registrars, and those in the industry who may not have discovered the rich landscape of .PRO.”
