Domaining
Spain 2013
is now less than 8 weeks away. This
annual conference in beautiful Valencia,
Spain, that is co-produced by show
founder Dietmar Stefitz and veteran
event producer Jodi Chamberlain, is
a phenomenal value (one reason
people came to last
year's show from 23
different countries around the world). The
registration
cost for the 3-day event that
returns to the Hotel Sorolla Palace
in Valencia April 25-27, is just
€600 and that includes lunches and
dinner.
The
hotel
deal is even more amazing with
the ultra modern and extremely comfortable
Sorolla Palace charging attendees just €70
a night for a single occupancy double room
(€75 for two in a spacious double
room) and that |
|
|
includes
a fabulous buffet breakfast every morning.
Cost has prevented many people from taking
advantage of the invaluable opportunity
conferences present to network face to
face with key industry players.
However, Domaining Spain has managed to
just about eliminate that reason for
remaining on the sidelines, especially if
you live in Europe where travel to
Valencia is convenient and
affordable.
Travel
obviously costs considerably more if you
are coming from further away, but this
would be the perfect opportunity to combine
work with a very pleasant European
vacation in one of the continent's most picturesque
cities. |

conveniently located Hotel Sorolla Palace

door
to the city's Convention Center (at left)
will host Domaining Spain 2013 next
month. The
combination of great value, a beautiful location
and an all-star
line up of speakers including Xavier
Buck, Natasa Djukanovic, Jennie–Marie Larson,
Paul Keating and
show moderator
Braden Pollock, to name just a few, is
likely to draw a record breaking crowd again
this year (last year's show was a sell
out).

Dietmar
and Jodi have also put together an agenda
that will cover the hottest topics and
biggest issues currently facing the
industry, including new gTLDs. The
impending arrival of new gTLDs has sparked
a lot of trademark concerns so Domaining
Spain is bringing in Vicky Folens
and Hans Seeuws to talk about ICANN's
Trademark
Clearinghouse on opening day,
Thursday, April 25. They will be followed
by a new TLD panel featuring Gregg
McNair, Xavier Buck and Tim
Switzer, who will discuss the pros and
cons of investing in new TLDs.
After
another full day of business Friday, April
26, there will be a Gala Dinner
sponsored by Internet.bs
that will be especially memorable because
that is the night Jodi Chamberlain is
going to allow Gregg McNair to shave |

her
head if her goal of raising $50,000
for The
Water School is met. Industry
donors have already contributed $17,000 to
the effort through pledges made at the
fundraising effort's website at WaterShave.org.
With the date rapidly approaching now, I'm
sure many others will step up to make sure
Jodi's mane remains in Spain when
she heads home!
The
conference will close Saturday, April 27
with a special social networking day
that will include a visit to the Roman
Theatre and Museums of Sagunt,
followed by a paella luncheon
(Spain's national dish) at Puerto de
Sagunto Beach. Where else in Europe
(or on the planet for that matter) can you
get three days filled with so much fun,
food, great networking and valuable
business sessions for just €600? If you
want to take advantage of the opportunity,
registration
is open now. |
