Conference started yesterday with members only sessions and welcome luau.
The GeoDomain Expo kicked off in San Diego yesterday morning with a day of sessions limited to Associated Cities members. Sessions yesterday covered advanced topics that appealed to members, many of whom already have successful geo web sites.
I flew in Thursday and was on the same flight as the Parked.com team, which was flying in from Tampa with a layover in Austin.
Associated Cities Executive Director Patrick Carleton said he expects about 150 attendees. Last year’s conference in Chicago attracted about 200 people. Organizers are happy with this year’s attendance, especially in light of the economy.
GeoDomain Expo attracts a somewhat different crowd from the typical domain name conference. There are a number of local media companies here, most of which use the web to deliver news, event information, and drive real estate or apartment leads.
But many of the “regulars” are here, including domain parking companies Parked.com, NameDrive, and DomainSponsor.
Friday’s events, open to all attendees, start momentarily with an address from San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders.

Thanks for keeping us updated on the events in the wonderful city of San Diego.
If you haven’t seen San Diego’s Hotel Del Coronado, it’s very interesting and a beautiful structure right on the beach.
As I recall, the film ‘Some Like It Hot’ was made there and President Nixon hosted a dinner with the Mexican Government there, as well.
I’m enjoying the geodomain news and thanks again for the updates.
