What domain name conferences am I missing?
Each year on the Domain Name Wire survey I ask which domain name conference is best. The list typically includes major U.S. conferences. But I know there are some good international conferences that should be on the list.
Here are the options from last year:
T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Domain Roundtable
DOMAINfest
GEODomain Expo
Domainer Mardi Gras
I’m looking to add domain name conferences that meet three criteria:
1. At least 100 people at the latest event
2. Conference has been held for at least two years
3. Open to everyone; not just company events
Please leave a comment if you know a conference that meets these criteria. Now is not the time to comment about which conference is best — you’ll get your chance shortly on the Sixth Annual Domain Name Wire Survey.

Sadly there was no GEOdomain Expo last year and so far have not heard of one scheduled for 2011.

@ Rob – I believe there was a geodomain expo in New Orleans last year
Jothan Frakes says
@Andrew I hope to see you in February.
Please Add .nxt http://dot-nxt.com in San Francisco February 9/10, 2011 – Focused on new Top Level Domain Names and the opportunities there.
The San Francisco Internet Society tapped Kieren McCarthy as the General Manager of the conference, which is entirely volunteer driven.
Given my experience starting both Domain Fest and Domain Roundtable, I stepped up as a volunteer to help .nxt [http://dot-nxt.com], so I’d appreciate some mention.

@Rob Sequin – a hearty AMEN. Patrick Carleton does a magnificent job of organizing the GDE
