DomainFest 2008 Hollywood
Today I am making a cross country trip from my home in North Carolina to attend an exciting domainer conference in Hollywood California. If you haven’t heard of DomainFest by now you must be hiding under a rock somewhere! DomainFest has been held twice yearly at various locations across the globe since 2006.
Networking
There are some big name domainers who are going to be attending whom I would love to get a chance to meet and network with. I have some big goals for DotSauce Magazine in 2008 and hopefully will be able to make some connections and learn from other domain professionals.
Here are a few of the many events I am looking forward to attending:
- Domainer Town Hall with Frank Schilling
- Session: Maximizing Revenue from Local Advertisers w/ David & Michael Castello of CCIN
- Session: Domain Names and the Law: What’s at Stake
- Session: Branding for Gold, Balancing Hype and Reality
- Domainer’s Choice Awards
SnapNames Live Auction
On days one and two of the DomainFest conference a premier SnapNames live auction will be staged. To participate online you need an active SnapNames account and to install their live auction software.
Parties & Entertainment
Some special events have been planned by conference organizers Oversee.net. Tonight a cocktail party will be held which will feature Hollywood-style fun with special appearance from Playboy stars Sara Underwood, Jennifer Korbin, and Brande Roderick. Tomorrow night DomainFest will be taking over the gorgeous “Highlands Nightclub” and throwing a themed “Night at the Bazaar” party with entertainment from the gorgeous dance troupe, Purrfect Angelz.

I hope to be able to find some time to post updates and pictures while I am in Hollywood to keep you updated on all the good bits of info and news I discover at the conference. Hope to see you there, please take a moment to say “Hi” if you see me!

@ michael: lol.
Cool, sounds like a good and purposeful time. The snap auctions sound like a good deal, to bad i missed it. If that is your pic in the post, you’re a good looking guy. You should post your pic prominently on the blog. (e.g. header)
I’ve been thinking of doing this myself, but am skittish about it. But it does add to the blog alot.
