If you haven’t bought a ticket for DOMAINfest yet, you just might be enticed to after reading what is on the agenda. January 26-28, 2010 are going to be some jam packed days full of great speakers discussing important and pertinent domaining topics, contests, Moniker auctions, networking sessions and my favorite part, fun after parties! All kidding aside, it does sound like it’s going to be a great event.

The theme of DOMAINfest is: “Domain Names: Overlooked. Underutilized. Essential to Online Marketing Success.”  Some of the topics that will be discussed are:

• Turning killer domain names into killer websites
• How prime internet real estate builds SEO and SEM success
• New gTLDs: bonanza or bust?

All of theses topics will have 3 or more speakers from several different backgrounds speaking about them. The keynote speaker of the event will be Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos, which is a $1 billion a year online retailer that recently purchased Clothes.com for $4.9 million. Before Tony was became the CEO of Zappos, he had already garnered personal success by developing a web advertising company named LinkExchange, which he later sold to Microsoft for $265 million in 1998. I think we might be able to learn a thing or two from him.

Frank Schilling, Adam Rioux and Ron Sheridan will be the judges for the PITCHfest contest. David Liu, Douglas McPherson, Richard Morganstern and Eric Liaw will be the judges for the LAUNCHfest contest. If you don’t recall what those are about, click here to see what I wrote about them a few weeks ago.

Of course the after parties are sure to be great. I’m almost positive I don’t have to explain why I’m so excited for Jenny McCarthy’s fundraiser, which is being held at the Playboy Mansion.
