T.R.A.F.F.I.C. “DOWN UNDER” – NEW ADVENTURES FOR DOMAINERS - FINALLY!

Sheraton Mirage Resort. Surfers Paradise. Gold Coast. Queensland. Australia. If ever there was a domain conference to attend based on the location of an event alone, TRAFFIC Down Under (TDU) is it. The hotel, environment, city and country screams success and adventure. Now simply add Dan Warner, Richard Moore, Michael Robertson, Andrew Wright, the rest of the team at Fabulous.com, their topnotch sponsors, and you get new ideas, powerful people, serious domain industry connections and valuable information.

At this point, you know you need to be there.

Sounds pretty exciting, right? But that’s not all. Here’s where TDU really puts some serious meat on the bone. Dr. Paul Twomey, President and Chief Executive Officer of ICANN, and Graeme Wood, Founder and Executive Director of Wotif.com, will be the Keynote speakers. The power of information coming from these Keynote speakers, especially in this period of domain investing, is invaluable.

“We’re very grateful to have both Paul and Graeme keynoting at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Down Under,” said Dan Warner, Fabulous.com’s Chief Strategy Officer, commenting on the event’s speakers. “We look forward to showcasing both Australian Internet experts, and know our attendees will benefit greatly from hearing them speak first hand.”

I asked Big Dan about some comments going around that there are too many domain conferences clogging the scene. Basically, I got in so many words a polite but firm “Rubbish!”

I wholeheartedly agree with him.

If Fabulous is hosting a conference in Slam Bang Down Under, you know every day you’re at this conference, you will be living a real-life adventure. This country (and this conference) is not going to give you one moment of boredom. Bring your cameras. I am making the prediction right now that more photos will appear online from this event than any other domain conference ever held. I’ll pay $100 to anyone who shows me otherwise. This isn’t just a domain conference, people, this is a big bowl of adrenalin soda pop you’ll be shotgunning down your gullet for five days. Sleeping will be an afterthought.

Said Dan: “We have planned our event to be ‘business meets pleasure’. It will be a 3-day show, with an additional activity day before and after the conference. TDU (Traffic Down Under) will be jam packed with various sessions and keynote speakers discussing a diverse range of topics that are important, current, and original. You might say that this conference will be on steroids (Douglas says here: SHIZNIT! Trademark that phrase, Dan!) Plan to play, drink and work harder than you ever have before. This conference is not for the faint-hearted. The contrasts of the Gold Coast will unite to deliver every holiday experience you could desire from pure, adrenaline-packed fun to natural indulgence.“

Dang if that isn’t the sweetest description of an event YOU HAVE TO ATTEND that I’ve ever heard! Leave it to Dan to tell you exactly how it is. (Smart domainers always listen to the Big D)

TRAFFIC DOWN UNDER (TDU), scheduled for November 17 - 21, 2008, (including pre-events and post-events), is probably the most-anticipated domain conference of 2008. As the executive producer of the Domain Roundtable Conference 2007, I know firsthand the amount of work that goes into producing these shows. It’s complicated, demanding, and requires over a thousand man hours to present a winning event. From my professional live-event producing experience, I can see that TDU is already scheduled to be worth every dime and more for its attendees. Everyone is talking about this event. Many of the biggest domain players are blotting out the show’s five days in November on their calendar and saying “To H*LL with anything else, this is the place to be!” (Wedding anniversaries, birthdays, and other celebrations during this period should be planned to coincide with the TDU conference. Bring everyone!)

From what the TDU producers have shown in their agenda, the icing on the cake presents itself in elaborate fun-filled entertainment. TRAFFIC DOWN UNDER has smartly provided a long list of both unusual and traditional activities, including my favorite, “Learn To Surf With Cheyne Horan”. As a 15-year surfing veteran, I haven’t surfed much in the last decade due to *ahem* business and “old injury” limitations… arrggh! But I’m one of the lucky ones who can tell you that surfing is unlike any experience you’ve ever had. Try it out and you may get hooked! But do this activity anyways, because I’ve seen Cheyne surfing and winning contests, and I can tell you without a doubt that you will be learning to surf from one of the world’s best surfers. Just that fact alone gives you incredible bragging rights, and you’re going to be STOKED! (surfer term for “totally excited”).

Bottom line: The TRAFFIC DOWN UNDER Domain Conference will be the standout event of 2008 for domainers. You will be discovering how to get more gold for your domains, while you’re on the Gold Coast of Australia listening to the smartest domainers in the world. Not only will you meet the best-of-the-best at this event, but you will take home memories of an adventure of a lifetime, along with powerful new contacts, valuable money-making information, and a healthy vitality to push forward with your domain projects. This conference will lay the groundwork for the financial juggernaut of domaining for 2009.

Save up every dollar you have if you are a domain investor at any level, because attending this event will be your ticket to the party that makes you one of the accepted players in this industry. That alone increases the value of your name and your domains several fold.

It can only happen at TRAFFIC DOWN UNDER. Go for the gold.
