The rest is from the email:

This is an Advance Announcement for DOMAINfest Global Jan 2007

DomainSponsor Presents

The best and the brightest will gather in sunny, southern California for a global networking event. You’ve heard about the first DomainFests – regional gatherings built for domainers by domainers. Now experience the quality, the knowledge, and the fun on a global scale. And, enjoy some time away from the snow in the stars’ playground, Hollywood, CA, where winter weather means sunny and 70s. Join us at the first event of its kind, sure to make domain history.

Mark your calendar now!

Wednesday, January 31 – Friday, February 2, 2007 with a recreational Saturday (February 3) jam packed with informative sessions, networking opportunities and Hollywood-style activities sure to satisfy.

Where is it?

Renaissance Hollywood Hotel. Where the stars stay.

Enjoy networking in the same glamorous space the most sought-after stars enjoy on Oscar night. You’ll experience the pinnacle of luxury at the Renaissance, a part of the Hollywood and Highland complex that shares its space with the Kodak Theater, home of that shiny gold man.

I wish they'd do something no the east coast, maybe northeast.

You going Allan?

[IAmAllanShore]

I am strongly debating it... I haven't been to any conferences yet, and would enjoy the opportunity to meet some domainkin (My tm on that coined term)

I would love an East-Coast one, but all the Tekkies seem to be West-Coasting it

Word at the last DomainFest was that the next one would be in New York or East Coast somewhere. I guess it's back to Southern Cal though.

The last one was great! I had lots of fun networking with and meeting other domainers. Sessions were good too. Definitely worth the trip!

 

[stscac]

I'd definitely go NYC. That would be a hell of a conference.

Any word yet on the cost and program details?

Info coming next week. But last two DomainFests were free to attend and all meals were paid for by DomainSponsor. Here's September's schedule for an idea of what to expect.

Sweet deal for me that I live in Southern California. It would be the first one I am able to go to. So I am excited thats its almost here and so close to me. (he he less than 30 minutes away)

Well let me see: If I dont have the $395 I could probably rent a spot or two at my place. It's $200 a night at the hotel. I could probably cover the cost of that having 4 people at my place. Sorta of like a B&B. lmao. And maybe make some extra change on the side.

 

[fonzie_007]

I checked out the hotel and the cheapest room I could find is $299/night. Not sure if I want to drop that plus airfare...

 

[RJ]

Even at $395, this one is a bargain compared to attendance fees at the other domain conference. This is a three day event, and most (if not all) of your meals will be included. They really go all out to take care of attendees, so if you can make it, I'm sure you would enjoy it.

There will be special rates for conference attendees. They mentioned it would be around $200/night to stay at the venue hotel, but I'm sure there will be lower cost alternatives for lodging. Hopefully we'll hear more about these options soon. Maybe pairing up with a roommate would be a good option for some too.

I'm interested in joining, but I'd like to join perhaps to get a booth if possible. I'd like to showcase my software DNFinder, (DNFinder.net), since I live in the area. It's only a 20 minute drive for me =).

[Charley]

[x11joex11]

Say any word yet on if there is a way I can attend? =). Haven't got any emails back from you and would like to attend to showcase my software dnfinder.net there. Let me know.
