DOMAINfest Live Auction has come to an end…thank goodness! This being my first live auction I will admit I am exhausted. Right now I am up in the room, taking a break and catching my breath. In just a few minutes I will head back down for a few hours more of networking and dinner and of course an after party or two.

With over 100 attendees and a packed house for the keynote speaker, Jay Berkowitz, this has been a great event.
