NYC Show Format to Meetup, Nixes Las Vegas — DOMAINfest Changes

Fresh York show changed to a meetup and Las Vegas show canceled.

DOMAINfestOversee.net has made some changes to its remaining DOMAINfest shows for 2011.

First, the Fresh York show planned for August will now be an evening meetup instead of a one day “Power Networking” day. The event will take place August 23 from 7-10 pm at the Mad46 Rooftop Lounge. Registration isn’t open yet but the web site notes it will be $150.

I’m a bit disappointed in this change since the Fresh York show last year was pretty good. The decision to change the format has been on the DOMAINfest web site since ahead of the prior week’s Barcelona show.

Second, the firm has canceled its planned November show in Las Vegas. A firm spokesperson told me the show was eliminated since it’s so close to the franchise’s main event in Los Angeles in early 2012. This makes sense to me.

What do you think regarding the change to the Fresh York show? Were you planning to attend, and does this change affect your decision?
