T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Announces Show Plans Through 2015 - Florida Conference Will Move to New Venue Next Year + Domaining Spain Opens Thursday!

Just five weeks from now I'll be getting on a plane to Las Vegas for the first show T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Co-Founders Rick Schwartz and Howard Neu are running there since 2008 (Rick Latona staged a Las Vegas show under the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. banner in 2010 as part of a 

licensing agreement). In addition to the upcoming event May 29-June 1 at the Bellagio Hotel, Schwartz and Neu have laid out plans for the pioneering conference for the next two years

The biggest news in a letter that Schwartz sent out to those on the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. mailing list this morning was that the Florida edition of the show will be re-locating to an undisclosed new venue starting in 2014. This year's show will run in October when it makes its third and final appearance at the Ritz 

Carlton on Fort Lauderdale Beach. Schwartz said contracts have now been signed for 2014 and 2015 shows at a new Florida venue that will be publicly announced at a later date. He added that contracts for a second year in Las Vegas at the Bellagio in 2014 have also been signed.

In today's letter Schwartz also extended a special offer for next month's show in Las Vegas. If you register for the conference by Friday (April 26) and book your room at the Bellagio, T.R.A.F.F.I.C. will give you a free voucher that will cover the cost of your first night at the spectacular hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. You can check out the preliminary show agenda here

On the other side of the pond, Dietmar Stefitz and Jodi Chamberlain are making final preparations for this week's 2013 Domaining Spain conference. The big event will return to the Hotel Sorolla Palace in Valencia Thursday through Saturday (April 25-27). I was at last year's show at the same location and the hotel and city could not have provided a more beautiful setting for a highly productive conference. 

There is still time to register for the event and at just €600 it is one of the world's best domain conference bargains. The rates at the Sorolla Palace, starting at €70 a night, are also astonishing for such a top notch European hotel. 

A good place to spend some of the money  you save on the hotel and 

registration would be to make a donation to WaterShave 2013. Show co-producer Jodi Chamberlain has agreed to have her head shaved completely bald in return for donations to The Water School! It's a brave and beautiful  thing for Jodi to do as well as a great cause that has saved many lives.
