In under a month, DOMAINfest Global will happen in Hollywood, California, and there is a lot of excitement brewing over this.
So Hollywood “Gets” the Domain Industry — as in for a few days the Domain Industry will gather there. January 21-23 2007 at the Renaissance Hotel at Hollywood and Highland.
It was good to see some stars and entertainment industry people at the conference last year. There are a lot of pioneers in entertainment that are leveraging on line delivery and media content to propel their success. There are also many who are using the tried and true “Ostrich” method of wait and see.
I did a quick search on Hollywood and Domain Names and I found the following article about Hollywood not getting it about domain names. In all fairness, some of the studios do get it. NBC/Universal has a very progressive approach, as does ABC / Disney. Warner and other studios definitely do. So, mileage varies, but one can always learn how to get the most out of the potential.
Many of the studios leverage brand management professional organizations like Mark Monitor, Iron Mountain, VeriSign DBMS, or consult with digital brand experts like Names@Work or Fairwinds Partners.
There is a special session on the agenda at the DomainFest entitled “Winning Domain Name Portfolio Strategies for Corporations and Businesses” that is pulling in some heavy hitters in the Brand Management space. The goal is to discuss domain management for businesses and brands, and to “Mash-Up” some of the best practices that “domainers” are leveraging into use in the corporate arena.
Brilliant Idea.

I just have to talk up Web Conferencing provider WebEx and their service. I have been in many web conferences that this platform has supported, and it worked each time without a hitch.
Adobe now is offering a variety of web conferencing solutions as well along with Acrobat, it seems. Consumer choice is good. I will post once I compare all of these.

I got sent the following image chef sticker because of all the work I do with ccTLDs, and I got a big laugh out of it. Seems like you can plug in whatever you want and it will render the graphic for you.
This was the funniest thing eh-ver, and it seems like the possibilities are endless on this system.

Ran into William H. Macy at the airport. He was completely down to earth and friendly, and obliged a mobile phone camera pic.
Frank Mitchlick of DomainEditorial invited some of the most amazing people in Ontario (who are large domainers) to dinner.
I had a chance to meet up with Mark Jeftovic ,
James Woods , and Ross Rader
while in Toronto for the event, and saw a lot of familiar industry faces while there for the dinner.
Great Stuff!

DomainFest has been a series of small, regional events that domain owners start to put together, and then contact DomainSponsor to put their support behind.
This was a well attended event, with 45 people in attendance. 17 Languages, millions of dollars in domain names, and some of the most brillaint and wonderful “domainers” in all of Europe came to participate.
