Jun 11, 2007 : DomainSponsor 2008 Announced
📅 - DomainSponsor, the domain monetization business of Oversee.net (oversee.net), announced on Monday that the next DOMAINfest Global will take place January 21 to 23, 2008. The event will return to the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood, California, where DomainSponsor plans to build on the success of its first global conference held earlier this year.
The company's third regional event, DOMAINfest Amsterdam, recently took place in mid-May and was attended by more than two hundred guests from nearly twenty countries, including Germany, the Netherlands, Finland and Israel. Speakers at DOMAINfest Amsterdam included representatives from Sedo, NICIT, NameMedia, EuroDNS and Yahoo, who discussed today's major domain industry issues.
The domain conference debuted its first live auction in Amsterdam organized by show sponsor NICIT, selling 27 domains that totaled just under $1 million. Liz Williams, senior policy counselor at ICANN, reviewed the upcoming round of new TLDs in her keynote speech, while DOMAINfest hosted the sale of the highest grossing ccTLD on record. Poker.de sold for over $937,000 at live auction.
"This event helps lay the groundwork for a fantastic global event in January 2008," says Lawrence Ng, Oversee.net CEO. "We understand how important our continued partnerships with top domain professionals are to the success of DOMAINfest events and we plan to nurture those key relationships to produce an event that's important and pertinent to the industry as a whole."
