You really don't learn any "breaking news". However, you meet great contacts. I am down to 1 conference a year now "domain fest". What domain conferences were you offered to speak at? Be specific on that. I been to about 10 domain conferences. You really don’t learn any “breaking news”. However, you meet great contacts. I am down to 1 conference a year now “domain fest”.

Too many sponsors smoozing the big players. I had one brazen enough to interrupt a conversation and start promoting the private party they were having. He invited my conversation partner and not me. I consider that tacky and bad mannered. It also disrupted the conversation. It was all a dilberate move by the sponsor who will never get my business or respect. jsut sayin...

Mind you I don't live in the US and have to pay 100 bucks to go anywhere but fly from half way around the world. I remember way back in 2006 when everybody would run to attend sessions, I was sitting outside and doing business and building relationships. It's all a matter of what are your goals are when attending conferences. Sitting thru sessions, striking up relationships or partying and getting drunk, waking up with a bad hangover and not being able to do both. I do give credit to both Rick and Howard for starting these domain conferences. I could put faces to all those chats and emails and build long lasting relationships.

Where did you get that from? People just starting out in this biz who are serious about domaining should definitely go to any one of the domain conferences to get the "inside scoop" and some additional basic training straight from the source and non of the hyped up blogs or forums and maybe even learn about some of the more advanced stuff if it so happens that there is a pro in the house who wants to share some secrets on that one special day ;) Howard, I never said they have no value… Where did you get that from?
