DomainSponsor is promoting a domain networking event in Los Angeles next month.
Editors note: Please excuse the lack of posts over the past two days. I had a beautiful baby daughter Monday morning and am just now catching up…
DomainSponsor is sponsering a domainer gathering in L.A. September 20-22. Unlike most domain conferences, this event will focus less on panels and sessions and more on networking and deals. Best of all, DomainSponsor (and potentially a couple other groups) are picking up virtually the entire tab including meals. There’s no registration fee, so all you have to pay for is your plane ticket and hotel.
You are invited to join us for DomainFest – Los Angeles, September 20th, 21st and 22nd 2006. This will be a great opportunity to continue to expand our industry even further while maintaining the friendships and business relationships that makes ours one of the very best and most unique.
Because we are planning on making this a truly unique event for domainers – by domainers, if you have any ideas on what types of seminars or activities you’d like to participate in, we more than welcome your suggestions. Along with some of the best weather anywhere, the event will provide the domain community with 3 days of high-quality networking opportunities with the primary focus on creating new business and sharing industry-related ideas. In addition, a high-value seminar will be available to attend.
There are no registration fees for this event and with most of the meals, cocktail receptions and planned entertainment being sponsored by DomainSponsor and others, airfare and hotel accommodations are virtually the only expenses attendees will incur. Please check www.domainfestla.com periodically for updates as we are also looking to make some extra-curricular activities and breath-taking excursions available for your enjoyment during your visit to Los Angeles—cool prizes will be given away too.
With the dates approaching fast, we invite you to quickly RSVP at www.domainfestla.com, as space is limited and you truly don’t want to miss out on this event. For all comments or inquiries, please send in separate email to [email protected]. A tentative schedule has been outlined on the website, and will be updated more extensively in the coming days. As a link from the website, we will share some of the awesome times from the Barcelona event, so keep an eye out for that too. We look forward to seeing you in Los Angeles next month as it will surely be a great event—one you won’t forget!

Sir,
Has it, perhaps, occurred to you or to your readers to ask a rather obvious and critical question about so-called “domainers” and/or “domaining” – which is “What on earth makes people believe that domainers actually have an industry?”
Domain names are basically ethereal goods that arguably (and apparently) have marketability or, presumably, these onlione newsletters, conferences and other accoutrements wouldn’t happen.
Be that as it may:
I invite you and your readers to seriously pose a serious question which is: “What makes people believe that buying what amounts to basically nothing, a domain name, is an “industry”; and
“If indeed “domaining” arguably is an industry, which is to say something that actually produces something by adding value to something that wasn’t there before”, what it is that domainers actually “make”, besides a few bucks, that ads value to anything, other than to monopolize language, create artificial scarcity, and drive up prices for acquiring …well…basically nothing.” A name? A word?
