DNCruise sets sail this October.
The domain name industry is getting its first floating domain name conference — a cruise this October.
Patrick Ruddell of ChefPatrick.com is organizing DNCruise, taking off from Miami October 11. The cruise will make stops in Key West, Florida and Cozumel, Mexico, before returning October 15. It is timed nicely for people attending the TRAFFIC in South Beach October 17-20.
Although the conference will have some structured events and speakers, it will obviously take advantage of the cruise atmosphere. Four sponsors have already signed up for the event.
Chef Patrick has reserved 66 cabins for the event, holding up to 132 attendees. Interior cabins are $429 and exterior (view) cabins are $489, assuming double occupancy. Prices include all boarding fees, taxes, gratuities, room, food and most cocktails. Many of the exterior cabins have filled up already.
Always a lover of video, “the Chef” is cooking up personalized video invitations to a couple hundred of his contacts. But the event is open to everyone in the industry.

Count me in!!!
This sounds like, “I went to a party on a cruise ship and a “domain conference broke out”:) Kind of like, I went to a fight and a “hockey game” broke out.
Patrick, great job on setting this up.
Thanks, Jim
Bruce Marler says
Will be great to see you there Jim! You know it will be a blast:)

What a creative and great idea.
…while in other news, rumor has it that a group of “spaced-out” domainers have just signed an agreement with Virgin Galactic for the world’s first space domain conference. 😉

@Steve M “…while in other news, rumor has it that a group of “spaced-out” domainers have just signed an agreement with Virgin Galactic for the world’s first space domain conference.” Good one! I’ve got a domain name for that: GeoOrbital.com!
