I will personally be attending both events. I live in Florida so Fort Lauderdale is not that far and for New York, I’ll already be in town for Affiliate Summit. Great idea to schedule the New York networking event the day after Affiliate Summit!

Press Release

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – DomainSponsor®, the domain monetization business unit of Oversee.net® and organizer of the DOMAINfest® series of conferences, said today that it will further expand the highly regarded franchise with one-day events in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and New York City.

Both events will precede DOMAINfest Europe to be held in Prague, October 6-7, 2010.

Event Information
The one-day events will be held on May 13, 2010 at the W Hotel in Fort Lauderdale and on August 18, 2010 at the Grand Hyatt in midtown Manhattan, immediately following the Affiliate Summit East conference.

Each meeting will continue DOMAINfest’s tradition of providing a rich setting for discussions around how to increase the value of Internet real estate with subject-matter experts invited to facilitate free-flowing power networking sessions that will kick off each event from 1:30 pm to 3:30pm EDT. Moniker will conduct a live auction of premium names from 4:00 to 7:00 PM EDT, followed by a private dinner party hosted by DomainSponsor.

Registration for both Power Networking events will be available online at DOMAINfest.com on Monday, April 12, 2010.  The registration fee will be $175 per event.

In October DNN.com reported the acquisition of popular pending delete domain name service JustDropped.com by Rob Monster of Epik, LLC.

Now, let’s fast forward to today. I recently had the opportunity to speak with Dan Rubin of JustDropped.com during the last South Florida domainer meetup and he informed me that the sale never went through. Dan informed me that Epik failed to make their first purchase payment which was due January 15th. With failure of the first payment Epik voided their purchase agreement.

Dan and I did not get into all the details of the sales agreement, but one fun piece of information I was able to get was the purchase price would have been seven figures.

Rob Monster had the following response when I emailed him.

“JustDropped.com is a solid business and Dan Rubin is a quality guy.  At the same time, Epik is a complex company that operates in an ecosystem model which requires cooperation across business units.  Our deal with JustDropped was structured as an option. Our hope was to verify the synergies during the first option period and then either maintain the option or trigger the purchase at a price that was negotiated in advance. Dan remains a shareholder of the company and we continue to explore ways to collaborate with JustDropped.”
