India to Get First Major Domain Conference in September 2014, DOMAINX in Hyderabad

[Soofi]

Considering the important role that India-based domain companies and investors have played in the history of this business, it is somewhat surprising that the country has never hosted a major event centered around domain investors and developers. That is scheduled to change about 10 weeks from now with plans just announced for the inaugural DOMAINX™ event to be held in Hyderabad on Sunday, September 7, 2014 - a sponsor supported event with no registration charge.

Confirmed Speakers: Ron Jackson, Michael Castello, Michael Gilmour, Jon Yau, Morgan Linton, Deepak Daftari and Ritvik VikasMishra (Government/Cabinet Secretariat).

Good luck with the conference. It seems like a great idea, since India is such a large Internet market. The fact that it is free to attend makes it even better.

Thanks to Manmeet for take it upon his shoulders to educate and increase awareness about domains to the Indian Public and Businesses. Im sure this will be a great event with many more to follow!

We wanted to conduct live auction at the Conference, however, certain issues prevented us from not having at the first event. We will keep your feedback in mind for our second gig next year and would surprise you with better elements
