The
DOMAINfest
Global Conference gets underway Monday
(Jan. 21) at the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood,
California and we've gotten several bits of new
information from show organizers to supplement the
details included in the conference
preview article we |
|
|
published earlier this
month. If you are planning to attend you can save $200
by pre-registering
for the event. The fee will rise from $795 to $995
if you wait until opening day Monday to sign up
onsite.
Organizers just announced
an added attraction for the opening night cocktail
party, reporting that Playboy
|
|
stars Sara Underwood, Jennifer
Korbin and Brande Roderick will be on hand to
meet attendees and pose with those who would like to get
their picture snapped with a Playmate.

The conference will
be featuring live domain auctions both Tuesday
and Wednesday, Jan. 22-23 (conducted by SnapNames
Live). During those events, several names
will also be auctioned off |
|
to raise funds for Grassroots.org.
If you would be willing to donate a domain drop a note to [email protected],
giving then the domain name and auth code
so it can be |
|
|
transferred to Grassroots.org (be sure the
domain is unlocked). Also provide the name you
wish to appear on your IRS tax
receipt-of-donation letter that will acknowlede
the value of the donation for tax purposes,
based on an appraisal by Moniker
or auction value (domains |

estimated to be
valued at or over $1000 will be appraised
for you. Those estimated to be valued under
$1000 can also be appraised if the donor wishes
to cover the appraisal fee). In a fun twist for
this election year, the charity list will also
include some fun domains like FrankSchillingForPresident.com.
Speaking of Frank,
another conference
highlight will be a Domainer Town Hall
Meeting Tuesday morning (Jan. 22) that will
be hosted by
famed domain investor Frank
Schilling. Attendees will be taking part in an interactive discussion on the domain industry and where it's going.
Schilling will field questions and share his insights on what the future holds for the industry as well as discuss significant trends affecting the space.
Even if you can't be there in person you can submit questions for the Town
Hall. Just send your submissions to |
|
[email protected] by
Thursday (Jan. 17) and be sure to include your full name and company name so
you can be acknowledged in the Town Hall if your question is selected.
