Looks like i missed a good networking event.

I must say that from the time I purchased my first geo-domain until now, it still feels like the gold rush.

I now have over 100 geo-domains, mostly Australian. Many of these names are relevant not only in Australia but in other major cities in the world eg CityofNewcastle.com. (eight cities that i know about)

I am interested in finding out the value of such names and also te value of my box sets like Cityof(every capital city in Australia).com

I am also developing these names as business directories and with only one telecanvasser have been able to secure hundreds of advertisers in alimited test market. The world surely is the oyster for geo-preneurs. I look forward to removing landing pages and replacing them with modern and sophisticated directory software.

I am sorry I missed your event but would love to be among like minded people like yourselves at your next event.

Keep up the pioneering, Mick from Downunder.

Gordon:

I think you meant to address your email to my brother Michael.

And, yes, I agree with you that Dallas would be a better choice for the 2009 Expo because there are more direct flights from each coast.

Thank you Elliot for your kind words. It was a pleasure meeting you. Time to get some rest/recovery, and back to the grind.

David,

I’ll be there next year, though my personal thoughts are that Branson is a bad idea. Although it is in the middle of the country, it isn’t easy to get to. Not even any direct flights from the NY area…Dallas, New Orleans, Austin would be great central choices in my book…

Great to finally meet you in person Elliot!

It was my first domain-related conference and I found it excellent. The conference met my expectations and much much more. I returned home from the conference armed with many years of knowledge, insights and know-how to help me build, develop and monetize my own geo domain. This is a great testament to the quality of the conference, its speakers, sponsors and, most importantly, participants.

Those that I had the pleasure of meeting at the conference included leaders, veterans, and newbies and all were very open to share their knowledge, experience, ideas and feedback. It was simply an amazing setting to learn for a newbie like me. Thanks to everyone!

Of course, I didn’t meet with every single participants and it would be extremely useful if Associated Cities and the conference sponsors would publish/distribute a list of all participants in attendance (maybe name, company/geo domain, contact info, etc).
