I have been asked to speak at the INTEROP in Chiba (Tokyo) Japan on the 14th, and accepted.
What is INTEROP? “ä¼æ¥ãŒå¿…è¦ã¨ã—ã¦ã„る最é©ãªãƒãƒƒãƒˆãƒ¯ãƒ¼ã‚¯ç’°å¢ƒã®å®Ÿç¾ã«ä¸å¯æ¬ ãªæœ€æ–°ã®åŸºç›¤æŠ€è¡“・製å“群ã¨ã€ãれを用ã„ãŸãƒªãƒ¥ãƒ¼ã‚·ãƒ§ãƒ³ã‚’展示ã—æ–°ãŸãªãƒ“ジãƒã‚¹ãƒãƒ£ãƒ³ã‚¹ã‚’掴むãŸã‚ã®â€œ 出展社ã¨æ¥å ´è€…ã®æœ€é©ãªãƒžãƒƒãƒãƒ³ã‚° â€ã‚’æä¾›ã™ã‚‹ã€‚ãã‚ŒãŒã€Interopã§ã™ã€‚ “
I’ll be part of a panel at HostingCon in July to talk about domain monetization and internet advertising. The hosting industry is somewhat aware of this, but I think that there are some shifts coming in how they can turn customer loss or abandonment into opportunity, especially in a climate of fierce price competition in the marketplace.
My co-workers are all on their way to DomainFest Amsterdam this week, and the lineup is very impressive.
I am getting ready to head to Lisbon, and already have some responsibilities ahead of me.
There is a tutorial workshop on the domain marketplace on Sunday 3/25 that is shaping up to be a great method of learning about the domain aftermarket. I am moderating the second of two afternoon panels, more info and a list of panelists on the ICANN Public Participation site.
DomainPulse in Baden, Switzerland was a strong conference that made it clear to me that the European domain marketplace is quite robust.
Each year, the German (.DE), Swiss (.CH/.LI), Austrian (.AT) registries take turns hosting the conference.
Next year is in Vienna, Austria, and I recommend attending one if you never have.
