GEO.FUTR Conference: Empowering the Future of GeoTLDs and Geodomains

The GEO.FUTR conference is designed to help .city and .country operators achieve rapid success and sustainable growth in the geodomain landscape. This comprehensive event provides invaluable insights, networking opportunities, and strategic guidance for anyone involved in geo-targeting, local marketing, or domain investment.

Two prominent figures in the geodomaining industry, Patrick Carleton and Josh Metnick, have joined forces to create a premier conference specifically tailored to the needs of GeoTLD and Geodomain owners. This groundbreaking event, named GEO.FUTR, is set to take place in the Fall of 2013, promising to be a pivotal gathering for professionals and investors alike.

Patrick Carleton brings a wealth of experience to the table, having previously served as the executive director of Associated Cities, LLC, a leading trade organization representing geo domain owners (e.g., cityname.com). During his tenure with Associated Cities, Carleton spearheaded numerous successful geo domain conferences, solidifying his reputation as a thought leader in the field. His expertise in navigating the complexities of geo domains makes him an invaluable asset to the GEO.FUTR conference.

Josh Metnick is widely recognized as the owner of Chicago.com, a prime example of a successful geodomain. His practical experience in developing and monetizing a high-value geodomain provides a unique perspective that will benefit conference attendees. Metnick’s insights into the challenges and opportunities of geodomain ownership are highly sought after in the industry.
