11:15AM-11:30AM For the past decade, Ron Jackson of DNJournal.com has chronicled every public domain name sale. At T.R.A.F.F.I.C., he reports his findings and explains the year-over-year progress. This year's numbers are going to be very surprising.

Location: DaVinci 1-3 Ballrooms.

11:30AM - 1:00PM Keynote Howard Lefkowitz, Former President and CEO of Vegas.com, discusses domains and how to make a business from that domain.

Besides being brilliant, Howard is quite entertaining and he will tell you things you don't want to hear. It won't be politically correct, either. So come with an open mind and leave with a truck full of ideas.

When Lefkowitz assumed the leadership of VEGAS.com in 2001, the company had 26 employees and operated under an advertising-based model. Lefkowitz transformed the company into a diversified business of more than 400 professionals. VEGAS.com is the world's largest city travel website, while its sister site, LasVegas.com, is the world's second-largest. Both are the leading sellers of show tickets and hotel rooms for many of Southern Nevada's largest resorts.

What does Vegas.com think about .Vegas? What does .Vegas think about Vegas.com? And how does LasVegas.com fare? That's a discussion I want to hear, and since the folks from .vegas are there, it is a discussion we are likely to hear. Many consider this GROUND ZERO for competition, confusion and possible growth.

Location: Raphael Ballrooms.

1:00-2:00PM Sit down, relax, take a load off. Break bread and do deals at the hottest networking lunch in domaining. Above.com will announce the winners of  all domains that have made their reserves and those in attendance will have an opportunity to bid on any unsold domains.

Location: DaVinci 1-3 Ballrooms.

2:00PM - 3:00PM PPC and Domain Monetization Shootout. Well, that is what we used to call it when we were one dimensional domain investors. 

But we have all watched how each month payouts decline a few more points, while at the same time each company tells us they pay out the most. So who will stand up to the scrutiny, and how are these programs innovating to make you MORE money? They aren't.

This panel will blow the doors off of things. They will come at it quite differently and just may motivate us all to get up and get moving!

Neil Sackmary of GetitFido.com, based in Las Vegas, Howard Lefkowitz of Vegas.com fame, and Tyson MacKay of .Vegas, the new gTLD, will give different views and ideas to make money.

Location: Raphael Ballrooms.

3:00 - 4:00 How to take a domain to business in 60 minutes, with Michael Gilmour. Right in front of your eyes. This seminar can pay for your admission 10x over. Stop selling domains, and start creating and selling businesses!

Location: Raphael Ballrooms.

10:30AM - 11:30PM Million Dollar Panel. Featuring panelists who have each sold domains for $1 Million or more, and Michael Cyger will track each from start to finish. What does a million dollar sale look like at the very first contact? At first offer? At the close? How many times did they have to say "No", and what made them eventually say "Yes".

Michael Castello, Rick Schwartz, Roy Messer and other panelists.

Location: Raphael Ballrooms.

4:45PM - 6:00PM T.R.A.F.F.I.C. is about watching out for your interests and your futures. This special time slot is about both. Michael Castello will articulate some important things facing us and ways we can protect ourselves and also benefit financially. Moderated by Michael Cyger and Howard Neu.

As an industry and as individuals, where are we? A discussion about what is good and bad about our industry and what we do, and what we can and should do. An Inustry open forum. Have your say.

Location: Raphael Ballrooms.
