DomainFest Global 2009

August 31, 2008 by Michele Neylon

DomainFest Global, which I’ve attended for the last two years, will be opening registration for its 2009 edition in a few days.

While the organisers, Oversee.net, haven’t made available any information on next year’s lineup and schedule, I will be booking my ticket as soon as I can.

Why?

Put very simply DomainFest is a wonderful event.

The cost of attending isn’t that high, if previous years are an indicator, and you get a lot for your money.

Techcrunch’s Arrington gave the keynote two years ago, while John Battelle gave a fascinating talk last year. Of course last year we also had the playboy girls, but that’s another story!

The people who turn up at DomainFest seem to span just about every area of the domain and internet industry, so you never know who you are going to run into in a hallway or at a bar late at night.

The venue, the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel, is nicely located just off Hollywood Boulevard, so you can easily get to shops, restaurants and bars in the area without having to spend a fortune on taxi fares. (The Starbucks nearby did very well out of me last year!)

    Hi Michele,

    I really owe you an email…. But in the meantime, I’m thrilled to hear you’ll be in l.a. I know I should see you beforehand (cairo?), but don’t forget to drop me a line when you’re here. We should meet up for some beers,

    cheers, m

    Thanks for dropping by 🙂

    I’ll pop you an email to make sure we’ve got current mobile numbers etc.,

    I’m not sure if I’ll make it to Cairo yet, but LA is my annual working holiday, so all I have to do now is book!

    Michele
