 [edit] About The Domain RoundtableDomain Roundtable is a conference focused on domain names and the adjunct businesses to domain names. An annual event, Domain Roundtable was previously held exclusively in the Seattle area. San Francisco, however, was the host for the 2008 Roundtable event. The conference is about domain names, and is a great venue to do a number of things at once: meet people who are serious players in the domain name industry, talk with like-minded peers, and grow in awareness of current trends from the people who are setting them. These easy social scenarios provide fantastic opportunities to learn, to create new business, and to build on networking relationships in an environment where people are readily talking about the latest issues and trends surrounding domain names.
