Topics include expert-to-novice domain acquisition, valuation, monetization, sale and SEO strategies; a Live Domain Auction follows on Wednesday.
Name Intelligence, a domain information research company, today announced that the Domain Roundtable Conference will kick off next Monday.
During Monday and Tuesday, those attending will have their choice amongst some 30 expert-led breakout sessions discussing a wide range of industry topics, including expert-to-novice domain acquisition, valuation, monetization, sale and SEO strategies.
There will also be discussions on how to create more Fortune 1000 awareness of the value of generic domain names, like Johnson & Johnson's baby.com, a key, and ever-appreciating, marketing asset for their entire baby-centered product line. Their $200k investment in the name has paid huge dividends already!
Domain Development Investing will lead the Wednesday agenda, followed by a 'Live Domain Auction', which Westerdal asserts will be free to the public. The 450+ domains to be placed on the auction block will be open to both online & offline bidding. During the auction, remote users will be able to see real-time videocast, who is bidding, and what the bids are for.
Each evening, the Domain Roundtable will hold great after-hours hosted parties in world-class venues, highlighted by Monday night's 'Body Painting Contest' party, hosted by TrafficZ at the trendy Sugar nightclub in downtown Seattle. The contest and bidding proceeds will benefit Michael Mann's Grassroots.org group.
Frank Schilling, who has accepted the invitation to keynote the event,
as described by Westerdal, is 'the most well known domain investor in
the world, who will take us through his humble beginnings all the way
to how he got to where he is. With over 320,000 domains in his
collection, he is not resting & continues to buy. I love looking
through his portfolio because he has so many killer generic domains.'
This event will not only be beneficial to seasoned domainers but equally as useful to professionals new to the domain industry.
