HostingCon, which calls itself the “largest gathering of hosted services professionals in the world”, begins next Monday, August 10, in Washington,D.C. It is both a conference and a trade show, showcasing news, ideas, and networking opportunities for web hosting professionals. This is the 5th annual conference, and organizers expect a turnout of around 2,000 people.

Among the keynote speakers this year are: Zane Adam of Microsoft, Antonio Piraino of Tier1 Research, Stephen Cho of Google, Daniel Burton of Salesforce.com, and Emil Sayegh of Mosso. Cloud computing seems to be the hot topic, with many of the keynote speakers focusing on it. Other topics include data protection, SEO, surviving a financial crisis, and virtualization.

Registration is $570 for the full conference with lunch, $415 without lunch, $259 for a single day without lunch, and $71 for exhibits only. Those on a budget can purchase an exhibits only pass and still visit booths, pickup freebies, and network with leading professionals in the industry. There will be over 100 exhibitors this year.

]]> Domain Convergence Conference in August https://www.internetblog.org.uk/post/275/domain-convergence-conference-in-august/ Tue, 14 Jul 2009 16:26:22 +0000 http://www.internetblog.org.uk/post/273/domain-convergence-conference-in-august/ Domain ConvergenceRegistration is now open for the second annual Domain Convergence conference to take place in Toronto, August 13-14. It is a conference for domainers to learn from each other, share ideas, network, and acquire useful tools. The first event was held in Niagara Falls, Ontario. In addition to general domainer networking, the conference will feature a session about .ca country top-level domains.

“The idea for Domain Convergence was born from our local DomainerDinner events, where domainers get together for an evening of social networking and open information exchange. Domain Convergence is taking the social concept further and adds sessions that will provide you with valuable information and bring new ideas & partnerships.”

Early registration is C$ 649.00. This seems like an excellent opportunity for both experienced and new domainers interested in exchanging ideas. If you are in Canada or anywhere nearby, it might be worth your time if you can write the registration off as a business expense. As the domain landscape is quickly changing, particularly with the new gTLDs announced by ICANN, it is a good idea for domainers to begin meeting all over the world.
