T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Expands Agenda and Adds 2nd Keynote Speaker for This Month's Conference in Las Vegas 

We published an in-depth T.R.A.F.F.I.C. West preview interview with conference Co-Founders Rick Schwartz and Howard Neu last week but since then, Schwartz, who assembles the program, has added some new elements, including a second keynote speaker. With the show at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas just two weeks away, Schwartz announced today that the former President and CEO of Vegas.com, Howard Lefkowitz, would join previously announced keynoter, Dwayne Forrester, the Senior Product Manager at Bing.com, at the top of the marquee,

With respect to Lefkowitz, Schwartz said, "Besides being brilliant, Howard is quite entertaining and he will tell you things you may not want to hear. It won't be politically correct either. So come with an open mind and leave with a truck full of ideas!"

Schwartz, who has historically worked on the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. agenda almost up to opening day in an effort to present the most currently relevant program possible, added "we still have two additional sessions that will be announced next week that just may shake things up even further. We don't shy away from the big issues, we tackle them head on and the chips will fall where they may."

Schwartz said he expected to make his final decisions on the program by this time next week. The event runs from Wednesday evening, May 28, through

Saturday morning, May 31, but many will come early for the pre-show Cabana Networking that starts May 27 (the day after Memorial Day). Though he is still putting the finishing touches on the agenda Schwartz said, "the focus of the show is taking a domain and making a business out of it. We will have at least three sessions just focusing on that."

There was another intriguing bit of information in an email Schwartz sent to everyone on the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. mailing list this morning. He wrote, "this will be our last show in Las Vegas as we prepare to move operations to the west coast (more about that some other time). That is news to me and since it seems unlikely that longtime South Florida residents Schwartz and Neu will personally be moving west, it will be interesting to see what this new location for "operations" entails.
