At least 10 domain name firms heading to SXSW in Austin this stretch

Domain firms setting up shop in Austin later this stretch.

SXSW Interactive kicks off in Austin on Friday. Among the 30,000+ attendees will be at least 9 10 domain name firms.

Here’s what I know so far regarding domain name firms in attendance. Drop me a line if you’re a domain name firm missing from the list. Feel free to post a comment if you’re making the trek to Austin.

Domain.com: Domain.com is holding a party in Brush Square Park Saturday night for the second year in a row. It will highlight .ORG domains and feature a graffiti wall where attendees will be encouraged to collaborate on and draw up social movement ideas with chalk paint. Cocktails include “The Domain Fire” and the “Refresh-ORG”).

.CO HQ: .Co is going big with its own headquarters Friday through Sunday. Read more regarding it here.

.ME: .Me is exhibiting. It’s also getting some nice branding from other firms in attendance. Drupalize.me is an exhibitor, and the big opening night party Friday is presented by Join.me.

Public Interest Registry (.org): Exhibiting and co-sponsoring the Domain.com party.

.Uno: Giving away 5,000 .uno guitar picks. .Uno is focusing more on the music festival later in the week, which will feature more than 2,000 bands.

Name.com: Name.com wants to get 10,000 high-fives during the conference. It will donate a nickle to the Austin Children’s Shelter for each high-five it gets.

.xyz: I’m told to look out for Purple Man on the streets of Austin. I’m not 100% sure what that is, but rest assured you’ll see a photo if you follow me on twitter. UPDATE: wow.

Sedo: Jeremiah Johnston gives a 15 minute presentation titled “The Discussion’s Over: Fresh Domains Are Here” on Monday.

Igloo: They don’t have big plans, but my suggestion to them is to give away frozen margaritas for branding purposes. Say 2 PM Sunday at Iron Cactus? Let me know. 🙂

.Club: They’re sponsoring Brand-Innovators SXSW at Lamberts Restaurant March 7-11.
