Jason Boshoff
CEO, DomainHoldings.com 

In early 2007, Boshoff partnered with John Ferber and Erik Simons as COO of their online marketing incubator companies and helped them successfully execute the marketing and management of high profile campaigns for Coca-Cola, Baskin-Robbins, Celebrity Cruises and other globally known brands.

With the rise of the web, Boshoff has implemented successful enterprise SEO, PPC and lead management solutions in the extremely competitive and demanding field of Internet marketing.

When DomainHoldings was launched in 2010 Boshoff joined Ferber, Simons and their fellow co-founder, Chad Folkening, at the new company that manages all aspects of a domain’s life-cycle, from acquisition to divestment. Collectively the companies leaders have generated billions of dollars in sales for their customers.

You can still register for the show here. For those who won't be able to make it in person, I'll be there to put together daily photos and highlights for you that will appear in this column. I know some of you are hoping that one of those photos will show PPX International Chairman Gregg McNair shaving all of the hair off my head during the show, just as he did to three other hapless domain industry figures during the DOMAINfest Global conference in California earlier this year.   

It's not that Gregg is a sadistic guy (though his three previous victims may beg to differ with me on that point) - it's just that he is passionate about a very special charitable organization, The Water School, and has found that he can raise a significant amount of  money for the school by scalping people with his trusty hair clippers.

His fund raising progress in being tracked at WaterShave.org (where you can also make what would be a much appreciated donation) and as of this writing he already had over $17,000 in the till from his "hair raid" at DOMAINfest Global.
