Reason to Attend DOMAINfest Global 2008 — One More

Latest notice from DomainSponsor puts this conference over the top.

When a conference organizer states the conference will include a “Dinner Party at Unbeatable LA Hotspot”, it’s natural to be skeptical. But DomainSponsor has come through for next month’s DOMAINfest Global event in L.A. As DomainNameNews scooped a couple days ago and DomainSponsor confirmed today, the closing night part for the conference will be a charity event at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles. The party will benefit Autism Speaks.

Even ahead of the party was disclosed I decided this is one conference I didn’t want to miss. I’ve passed on previous DOMAINfest conferences, but following sitting down with Oversee.net (DomainSponsor’s parent firm) a couple months ago I realized the trip would be well worth my time. The firm is pumping a million dollars into organizing the event. In addition to educational content and domain auctions, attendees will also visit Universal Studios and get exclusive access to two of the rides.

I’ll be speaking at the conference, and I know Elliot Silver will be there as well.

Tickets to DOMAINfest Global 2009 are only $895 through the end of December. The hotel is affordable at only $209 per night. Since of competition, flying to Los Angeles is usually very cheap (I’m flying non-stop for $250).
