Innovative Industry Event Features Town Hall, Auction and Continuing Education

DomainSponsor™, the domain monetization business of Oversee.net, today announced that the second annual DOMAINfest Global event will feature the first Domainer Town Hall Meeting, an innovative auction, and a series of continuing education courses. The conference is scheduled for January 21-23, 2008 and will return to the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood, California. DOMAINfest was created specifically to respond to the needs of domainers operating in today’s business environment.

In commenting on the event, Ron Sheridan, Director of Business Development for DomainSponsor said, “Our goal is to continually offer more to the domainer community and establish DOMAINfest as the premier conference and marketplace for our clients in the domain industry. We understand the importance of our partnerships with top domain professionals and are pleased with the outpouring of support we have received. First and foremost, this conference is about listening to our customers and nurturing key relationships with them and our business partners. DOMAINfest Global 2008 will be a memorable event.”

This year, domain investor and industry expert Frank Schilling will participate in person at DOMAINfest Global by leading the first Domainer Town Hall Meeting, an in-depth discussion on the state of the industry, as well as a free-wheeling question and answer session with the industry veteran. Much like presidential Town Halls, participants will be able to ask the questions that are on their minds and most relevant to their business.

“We are delighted that Frank Schilling has agreed to join us this year,” noted Lawrence Ng, Oversee’s Chief Executive Officer. “Because this event is targeted at both experienced and beginning domainers, we are adding new features and formats that have been suggested by our colleagues. This makes our event truly interactive as well as helps stimulate new ideas, networking opportunities, and business prospects.”

The conference will also feature the second DOMAINfest auction, in an innovative new format. For those interested in submitting names for auction or who want additional information, please send your inquiry to buyers@domainfest.com or sellers@domainfest.com.

Continuing education courses for both experienced and beginner domain professionals are being designed to make participants’ time more productive by teaching and refining skills they will be able to use on site at the conference. Sessions are being offered in negotiation, business structure, finance, taxation and network building.

All DOMAINfest guests will receive VIP treatment. DOMAINfest Global is open to domain professionals as well as those interested in the growing domain industry. Registration is $795.
