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).

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.
