The NewDomains.org Conference being held for the second year in Munich, jammed packed of seminars, speakers and social networking events.
The show kicks off on Sunday with some networking events and dinner and then goes into full gear on Monday morning with two sessions running all day.
Monte Cahn from RightoftheDot.com a company in which I’m a Director in will be speaking in the session about Marketing on Tuesday along with:
- Tobias Flaitz, of Sedo

Lot of people from new gTLD registries like Frank Schilling from Uniregistry, Daniel Schindler of Donuts, Sandeep Ramchandani of Radix and Colin Campbell of .CLUB will be speaking as well as existing registries like Roland LaPlante from Afilias, Pat Kane from Verisign and Jim Rogers of Neustar to name a few.
