11:30AM - 12:30PM Neil Sackmary will make a presentation that may just rock the industry. New tools for domainers, including being able to sell sub-domains in real time on your own domains as well as automated stores, ad placements, PPC, eBay tools, Traffic Splitter, AND software to allow you to have a "Buy it now" button" and also "Make an offer" button. If they make an offer that matches your parameters, it automaically takes the sale. PLUS other tools domainers have NEVER had!!

This hour will pay your entire show cost.

Location: Raphael Ballrooms.

12:45PM-1:30PM  gTLD Shootout moderated by Jothan Frakes. Each gTLD operator in attendance that chooses, and has confidence in what they are selling, has up to 5 minutes of podium time to tell attendees why their new extension is worthy of your investment dollars. The single best opportunity they may ever get to be in front of the #1 domain investing audience in the world, and all they have to do is show up!

.Vegas, .Club, .Link, .Global and more!!!

Location: Raphael Ballrooms.

1:30PM-2:30PM No better way to network than to break bread with your fellow attendees. Join Frank Schilling and his team for lunch.

Location: DaVinci 1-3 Ballrooms.

2:30PM thru 2:45PM Neil Sackmary of GetitFido.com will present a new monetization program for domainers for the very first time. Neil wound up building his own private monetization platform AS AN END USER for HIS OWN BUSINESS and developing his own direct advertiser relationships, rather than rely on Google, as most PPC operations do. The result: Higher and more consistent payouts.

Neil will also tell you about the big party tonight!

Location: Raphael Ballrooms.

2:45PM-3:45PM  You heard their pitch. Now what? Michael Cyger of DomainSherpa.com will moderate this provocative panel. We all have friends involved with the new gTLD's and we don't want to say anything negative, but our top-tier group of outspoken domainers will get past that and logically handicap the rollout of all the gTLD's. Plus, they'll discuss which ones have the most likely chance of wide adaptation and increasing values. How long that will take? Then, go a step beyond, and measure it against traditional extensions, and their time vs return and risk vs reward ratios. Not all gTLD's are created equal. Some think these gtld's will be on fire; yet, others think they will fizzle out.
