DOMAINfest, Domainer Mardi Gras on Horizon

by Andrew Allemann — January 9, 2009 Services 12 Comments

Two domain conferences on agenda for next 6 weeks.

Domain industry professionals have two conferences on the agenda from now until the end of February.

In less than two weeks, DOMAINfest kicks off in Hollywood, California. DOMAINfest, organized by DomainSponsor, is the largest industry conference by attendance. DomainSponsor will spend about $1 million organizing the show, including parties at Universal Studios and the Playboy Mansion. The conference starts January 27 with a “bootcamp” for new and intermediate domainers and the evening will conclude with a Moniker domain auction. Official sessions start January 28.

The agenda for Domainer Mardi Gras is coming together nicely. Organized by Modern Domainer magazine and taking place in New Orleans during Mardi Gras, the event runs February 19-21. Domainer Mardi Gras’ educational components will focus exclusively on risk management issues. Panel sessions will include risk management, diversification, running a business offshore, and tax risks. Confirmed speakers include: Matthew Berman from Deloitte & Touche; Sandra Brooks from DomainTaxGuide.com; Andrew Allemann from Domain Name Wire; Ron Jackson from DNJournal; Michael Collins from the Internet Commerce Association; Rick Latona from RickLatona.com; Patrick Carleton from Associated Cities; Tim Cole from ICANN; Craig Rowe from WhyPark.com and Sam Nunez from SEDO.

I will be at both events, so be sure to find me and say hello.

Domainer Mardi Gras to Focus on Risk Management

by Andrew Allemann — October 29, 2008 Services 0 Comments

Domainers head to New Orleans to learn about risk management (and partying).

Modern Domainer Magazine’s Domainer Mardi Gras will take place in New Orleans February 19-21, 2009. The event is produced by Modern Domainer with support from Parked.com and other sponsors.

According to an advance copy of the agenda obtained by Domain Name Wire, the event will focus on risk management for domainers. The conference overview reads:

The domain name industry witnessed dramatic changes in 2008. Today’s Modern Domainer is being impacted by rising domain name registration fees, approval of new Top Level Domains, changes in monetization rules by advertising network providers, new tax implications and by an increase in domain name related lawsuits. Modern Domainer invites you to an industry gathering to address these challenges during Domainer Mardi Gras: Risk Management for the Modern Domainer. In the conference you will learn about risk management tools that can assist in managing protecting and growing domain name investments. And oh yeah – Domainer Mardi Gras is in New Orleans during Mardi Gras – also known as THE GREATEST FREE SHOW ON EARTH!

Taxes and risk are never fun topics, but they should be educational and there’s nothing like getting advice from professionals. It’s also very timely given the current legal and economic environment. Mixed in with a heavy dose of partying and parade watching, the event looks like a winner.

Domainer Mardis Gras kicks off with a cocktail party and keynote on Thursday, February 19. The first evening concludes with an authentic crawfish boil and parade watching. Friday includes several educational sessions including tax risks and offshoring. Saturday has a couple sessions, an awards ceremony, a party, and what domain conference would be complete without a live domain auction?

Early bird registration runs through Friday and is $695. Registration and conference information is available online at DomainerMardiGras.com.
