Zappos CEO to Keynote DOMAINfest Global

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Keynote speaker announced for DOMAINfest Global.

Tony HsiehTony Hsieh, CEO and Co-Founder of Zappos.com, will be the keynote speaker for DOMAINfest Global 2010. The event will take place January 26-28, 2010 in Santa Monica, California.

This is a good choice for the show, given Hsieh’s background in internet marketing and domain names. Hsieh founded the popular banner exchange network LinkExchange, which he sold to Microsoft for $265 million. He also understands the value of a category killer domain name, as Zappos.com paid $4.9 million for Clothes.com. Zappos entered into an agreement to be acquired by Amazon.com for $850 million earlier this year.

If you plan to attend the event, early bird registration rates are available through the end of September for $895. Prices increase $200 on October 1.

Last year, more than 600 people from 26 countries attended the event, making it the largest domain name conference of the year.

    Tony started with LinkExchange in the early days and then hit another home run with Zappos. The folks running DomainFest are doing a fine job and it’s shaping up to be quite a show.
