Another
major player has jumped into the crowded domain conference game.
Parked.com and Modern Domainer Magazine
will sponsor a show in New Orleans during Mardi Gras week
February 19-21, 2009. Parked.com and Modern Domainer
share New Orleans roots though Parked.com moved most of their
operations to Tampa, Florida (also our home base) after
Hurricane Katrina. Below is a copy of a show invitation that
circulated at the GeoDomain Expo that ended last night in
Chicago.
Though the domain
conference schedule is already congested, you have to admit
going to an event during Mardi Gras will have special appeal.
Parked.com CEO Sig Solares filled me in on the show while
we sat together during a late night dinner hosted by Jay
Westerdal (TrafficZ/Name Intelligence) Thursday night in
Chicago after that day's events at the GeoDomain Expo. Sig and
his team plan to make the New Orleans show an unforgettable
experience and I have no doubt they will succeed in doing that.
Another note - we just
got home from Chicago a few hours ago and are currently working
on another Lowdown post that will be published in this column tonight
(Sunday, July 13) with highlights from the closing day of the
GeoDomain Expo Saturday, including Moniker's live domain
auction and the grand finale, the 2008 GeoDomain Awards
Dinner last night. That should be up between 10-11pm U.S.
Eastern time.
We also have a tidbit
to add to the post below about new live domain auction providers
coming to the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference in New York in
September. As we mentioned in that post yesterday,
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. organizers expect to announce a third auction
provider (in addition to Moniker and Thought
Convergence) in the next week or so. I have reason to
believe that third provider will be Sedo.com who would be a new
entrant in the live auction space, though they are of course
very well known for their successful online auctions at Sedo.com
and GreatDomains.com.
