Meet dozens of new associates in the shortest amount of time and then follow up with those you need to after the seminar or after the show. Be sure to bring your business cards!! 11:30AM Seminar......Domains have gone up faster than any other asset in the history of mankind. Once just a prediction by an early and foolish domain miner, is now a reality for all to see. The most expensive diamond ever sold was this May. $6.2M There is also a blue diamond that sold for $8M. Diamonds have been around for thousands of years. Domains have only been around less than 20 years. Just a quick check at DNJournal will show multiple sales exceeding that figure just in the past 1 or 2 years with probably dozens more that are never even reported. Why have so many been slow to embrace and why have so many seen such a great opportunity and transformed their businesses and their lives? Where is the disconnect? When will it be connected? 12:15PM Seminar .....Meeting of the Chiefs.....CEO's from the top companies in the domain and traffic space discuss the state of our industry and focus on the WADND TRANSPARENCY SEAL OF APPROVAL for monetizers as well as other issues as they arise over the summer months.

It's always a franks and controversial discussion about where we are and where we are headed. 1:15 Lunch Sponsored by TBA .
