DOMAINFEST Amsterdam Features Renowned Internet Experts
DomainSponsor, Oversee.net's domain monetization business and
organizing sponsor of DOMAINfest Amsterdam, today announced its
speaker line up for DOMAINfest Amsterdam, a two-day regional seminar
and networking event created specifically to respond to the needs of
domainers operating in the European business environment. The event
will be held May 16-17, 2007, at the Hilton Amsterdam Hotel and will
feature the first ever DOMAINfest auction: www.nicit.com/domainfest
Dr. Liz Williams, Senior Policy Counselor, ICANN, will be the
keynote speaker on May 16. Dr. Williams leads ICANN's policy
development activities related to the introduction of new top level
domains and policies for contractual conditions. Based in Brussels,
she is an international affairs specialist with a doctorate in
information technology and law.
"We are delighted to have Dr. Liz Williams speak. Our program
features many great minds all adding to the stimulating sessions and
intense networking that are part of this event," said Ron Sheridan,
Director of Business Development for DomainSponsor. "The support we
have received from our European colleagues is exciting."
The agenda, which can be found at
http://domainfest.com/agenda.php?am, begins with a discussion of The
Domain Aftermarket. Experts will share their unique perspectives on
the forces at play in the European aftermarket. Hear about price
stabilization versus further price acceleration in the value of dotcom
and dotnet names. Nora Cotter (Sedo) and Richard Martin (NICIT) will
participate.
Updates on TLD developments will be discussed by Pinky Brand
(dotMobi), Klemens Pidner (nic.at), and Leona Chen (DotAsia) in a
significant opportunity to learn about the continued pace of
leadership and growth in this area. Hear more about what is considered
one of the most interesting segments of the domain name industry.
Ask the Legal Experts features three legal powerhouses -- Paul
Keating (Renova Ltd.), Christian Kerschbaum, and John Berryhill -- who
will discuss everything domainers need to know about risk management:
trademarks, typos, cybersquatting, and the latest in intellectual
property rights. Attendees will also learn how to be smarter about
selling domains to large corporations. Listen to a discussion of the
risk in registering .de domains.
Global Domain Experts share their perspectives on building a
successful business around the Domain Name system. Markus Schnermann
(KeywordDomains), Emiliano Pasqualetti (DomainsBot), and Xavier Buck
(EuroDNS) bring their individual perspectives to the discussion. Then,
Sean Moriarty (Yahoo!) will focus on Yahoo!'s view of monetizing
European traffic.
