A Peek Inside the South Florida Domainers All-Star Meetup in Fort Lauderdale Monday Night

One of the world's largest local social groups for industry professionals, South Florida Domainers, held a meetup Monday night (March 30, 2026) at Tarpon River Brewing in Fort Lauderdale. The gathering once again illustrated what an extraordinary concentration of industry star power resides along Florida's Gold Coast, stretching along the southeast side of the peninsula from  Palm Beach down to Miami.

Larry Fischer and John Mauriello (the brokers who closed the all-time record domain sale of AI.com at $70 million) were there, as were industry pioneers like Rick "Domain King" Schwartz, Mike Mann, Monte Cahn, Chad Folkening, Ari Goldberger and Slavik Viner. Look one way and you would see Sedo's Mark "Mr. Premium" Ghoriafi, Mark Daniel or Victor Pitts. Look another and there was Adam Maysonet, Howard Fellman or John Colascione. Take another quarter turn and there was Allen Threadgill, Scott Ross or the Waters brothers, Rick and Chris - and I've still just scratched the surface! So, let's just some pictures (courtesy of Mark Ghoriafi and Marc Mojica) do the talking.

Above: Of course, no gathering would be complete without a class photo to mark the occasion! If you are coming to Miami for NamesCon Global in November, odds are you will see just about everyone of these domain pros there, so start making your travel plans now.

April 7, 2026 Update: A few days after our article was published, South Florida Domainers Meetup organizer Eddie Sixto, added a full photo gallery to the group's website where you can see dozens of additional snapshots from the the March 30 event in Fort Lauderdale.
