For the past few years I’ve enjoyed my trip to GeoDomain Expo, an annual gathering of owners of city.com and similar geographic domain names. It’s a different sort of conference that attracts a different crowd than most domain conferences I attend. You can tell that by looking at the sponsor list.

That’s a Wrap on GeoDomain Expo 2009 - A look back at the 2009 GeoDomain Expo. Some domain name conferences are special. Different. Unique.

San Diego Weather Cools Down for GeoDomain Expo - High temperature to be in the 60s during conference.
