Hey now... I *want* to go to PubCon, does that count? I've been burning too much PTO time at work and PubCon won't count as work related so I have to use vacation time if I want to go. Plus work won't pay for the conference fee

Now if the conference fee were < $100... I'd go ahead and eat the PTO time and be in Vegas.

Sometimes the conference fees make attendance cost prohibitive.

Yep, time off is always an issue, but the pubcon cost is not. When I originally post here, the conference fee was about $400, round trip flights $80 - $200, and walking distance rooms about $50. Bottom line: about 10% the cost of "Little TRAFFIC", 8 times the attendance, zero chance of hurricanes or blizzards. Last year I won an iPod at the giveaway raffles at Yahoo parties, and they will be doing those again this year.

I look forward to a DNForum conference.

After reading this thread over and over I feel that to get the best attendance, we should do it online using a high end web conferencing system.

This way all can attend with little or no cost.

What do you guys thing of that?

hell yeh!

im sure I speak for all international members

 

[pamela]

Not no cost, lets pay a little, hell good idea. Adam make a new thread regarding this.

 

[jdk]

Possible a new forum regarding this. But good idea Adam. You figure even if you had to charge a little (maybe a discount for exclusive members) it would beat purchasing a plane ticket, hotel, food, etc.

Would we get a DNF t-shirt with the registration

So, how would the after-parties work? Free dinners from Google by Google? Parties at clubs by Yahoo? Networking sessions? Grilling CEOs of PPC companies about bad policy on front of their customers?

I just don't see how one replaces the other, but I can understand why you would opt for this with the lack of enthusiasm from members here.

I agree with you JP, based on the survey the only way for us to get turnout is online.

Also we will hold a live conference later as well.

Have it in Hong Kong and I will bring 10 boxes of redwine!

 

[Mr. Pim]

Have it in Amsterdam and I'll bring 100 grams of weed!

 

[JuniperPark]

Have it in San Diego and I'll surround you with the HOTTEST women on the planet. A few photos taken last weekend as proof:

Juniper,

Why didn't you wear a costume?

http://daleporter.com/cabo/2005_10_Hween/page0015.html

Picture 4. I would recognize you anywhere. :-D

 

[Mr. Pim]

Can Amsterdam be included in the poll?

I know Amsterdam would be a great place for a domain conference.

 

[cshel]

No... I want to be surrounded by hot *guys*... I have no need for hot chicks.

Well I sure would be up for London mate. But the weather is sure getting bad here, it's been raining the past few days. You won't be seeing snow for another 6-8 weeks here I believe, if any really. As for hurricanes, don’t get really get them here.

If Adam does decide to do something here, I would volunteer to help out. Would be cool meeting people here on the forum in person

Maybe namestrands would be willing to travel down, although not an easy journey, I think it would be worth it and would love to meet him.

I have a strong feeling Angus wouldn't.

That pic should come with a warning sticker attached to it.

 

[DNAholic]

lol, true.

I still cant believe the lack of interest here. I feel like there is something wrong somewhere. Some names I have come to know and respect are not even saying anything. Some bad vibe going on, or maybe thats just what I am perceiving here, dont know.

I will be at sedo event, anyone here from the UK attending?

it would be cool, but it would lose the personal contact feel of a regular conference. what about denver? kinda central no?

roy

I feel the same way, but instead. I am saying: what about London? kinda central when you look on the world map no? GMT :wink: lol
