Europe's Domaining 2012 Conference Announces Additions to the Show Speakers Line Up

The 2012 domain conference season gets underway next week with the DOMAINfest Global in Santa Monica, California. The conference staff has spent the past year laying the groundwork for DOMAINfest and successful show organizers know that's what it takes to pull off a successful event. 

The lesson certainly hasn't been lost on Jodi Chamberlain, who is working with Dietmar Stefitz to produce Europe's Domaining 2012 conference coming up in Valencia, Spain April 26-28. Though the show is still  three months away Jodi has already gotten a great head start on putting together an all-star line up of speakers. 

In addition to the previously announced Braden Pollock (the lead gen whiz who is the subject of our December 2011 Cover Story), we heard from Jodi today that  Troy Rushton, the CEO of Protrada will travel from Australia to be part of

the development/parking panel. Incidentally, Troy will also be in Santa Monica for DOMAINfest next week and he is reportedly planning to makesome announcements there that will add some fuel to the parking vs. domain  development debate. 

Two top domain brokers, Toby Clements and Jeff Gabriel (President of DomainAdvisors.com), will also be in Spain to take seats on the domain brokerage panel where they will discuss what it takes to successfully sell domain names (both have racked up sales totaling well into seven figures so this is a topic they are well qualified to provide tips on). 

There are a lot fewer conferences on the show schedule these days but it appears that the lower quantity is going to be more than offset by a focus on quality productions. Time is money so it is good to see show organizers working hard to make sure their guests will find their time well spent.
