                                We used the first Rocky
                                Mountain Domain Conference that was
                                held Feb. 26, 2011 in Denver as a prime
                                example. The
                                growth of special interest domain
                                meetings is also growing beyond the
                                local/regional category. Successful gatherings
                                have been held for IDN enthusiasts, developers
                                and fans of specific TLDs, etc. I recently got
                                word of another event planned for this summer
                                that will be centered around (but not limited
                                to) members of Donna Mahony's popular
                                private domain forum - DomainBoardroom.com.

 | The first Domain
                                        Boardroom Funfest has been
                                        scheduled for August 5-8, 2011 in
                                        beautiful Myrtle Beach, South
                                        Carolina. Donna is getting a big
                                        assist with Funfest arrangements from
                                        Myrtle Beach resident Marcia Lynn
                                        Walker (both Donna and Marcia were
                                        featured in our February
                                        2005 Cover Story). |  
                                      | Marcia said this event should actually
                                        be thought of as "un-conference"
                                        - no fees, no structured stuff -  just
                                        all networking with most all the
                                        meetings/parties onboard the beloved
                                        "pirate ship" that Marcia and
                                        her husband Warren own. They also
                                        plan to take people to a couple of local
                                        deserted, private islands for some of
                                        the festivities. With a membership
                                        roster that reads like an industry who's
                                        who, the Domain Boardroom event is
                                        shaping up to be one of the summer's
                                        highlights.
