Next Monday thru Thursday, January 21-24 is the DOMAINfest conference in Hollywood, California, and I will be there. I am eager to attend the conference for many reasons, more than just getting away from the cold and snowy northern US.

As many of you have seen I write quite a bit about domain names here on The Hot Iron. This is related to my own personal interest and the importance of domain names, going well beyond the selection of one for a Web site. Granted that is still hugely important, but the reasons for purchasing domain names are many, and this sector of the Internet has spawn its own publications and conferences, including DOMAINfest. I am excited about the topics covered and am hoping to meet in person many of the people whose blogs I read and have learned from their leadership in this area.

On a professional development front, it marks the first conference I have attended since I started Dunkirk Systems. Though the business has been thriving over the last 3 years, I have not sought out conferences to attend. Where I cannot go back, I can only go forward, and DOMAINfest is the first of hopefully many.

If anyone reading is going to DOMAINfest please comment and I look forward to meeting you in person next week. Here’s to clear skies so my flight gets there on-time!
