About the GeoDomain Expo (and San Diego)

"The conference is on."

-Josh Metnick, Chicago.com

"As traditional media outlets continue to crumble owners of .com city domains hope to position themselves as the preferred media platforms of the future. Ways to seize that opportunity will be the focus of the GeoDomain Expo next month and it promises to be a very interesting conversation. I'm looking forward to sitting in on it."

- Ron Jackson, DN Journal

"The annual Geodomain Expo is truly the best domain industry event."

- Conor Neu, GreenTaxi

"I have to be there."

- Elliot Silver, Elliot's Blog, Burbank.com

"Had an awesome time at the event and it was worth every penny! Getting to meet so many geo domainers face to face was great and people were so open with sharing information. Although I'm new to the industry everyone including even the Castellos and Dan Pulcrano were very receptive and approachable. Like others have said, I too can't wait for next year's event. The decision to attend this event was probably one of the best professional decisions I've made in my life."

- Jason Mathews

"Words can't describe how cool the [2008] show was."

- Tim Davids

"As a veteran of many domain related shows (17+), I can say this was one of the best shows I have ever attended. I found the three days of seminars relevant, engaging and thought provoking. Even outside of the seminars, the veteran players in this industry were very open to sharing, discussing and suggesting ideas and concepts that can help anyone that wants to be successful in this industry. Thanks to all that made this show a joy to attend."

- Shaun Pilfold, Ogopogo Media

"Wild success."

- Rob Sequin, Havana Journal

"We will be there."

- Conor Neu, Neptune Ventures

"Best show of the year by far. Looking forward to seeing everyone!"

- Jessica Bookstaff, PigeonForge.com

"This is the view from my office window out toward San Diego Harbor. If you look real closely, you might be able to see the migrating grey whale that has been in the harbor since last week.The Star of India clipper ship and the Maritime Museum are just at water's edge. Nice place for a conference, eh? "

- Mark Burgess, SanDiego.com

"Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would have known that trouble was brewing, not alone for himself, but for every tide-water dog, strong of muscle and with warm, long hair, from Puget Sound to San Diego"

- Jack London

"I lived a block from the Catamaran Hotel when I was a teenager and stood outside the windows to watch legends like Dizzie Gillespie and Miles Davis perform. Now that I am old enough to drink, I look forward to legally entering the hotel lounge for the first time."

- Dan Pulcrano, Boulevards New Media

"We understand there will be a luau on Mission Bay the first night. As the former police chief of San Jose, I have seen first-hand the kind of parties Dan attends. We will have additional units on hand as a precaution."

- San Diego Police Chief Bill Lansdowne

"Ahh, what a beautiful view. Yes, San Diego. You know they've done studies, and it truly is the greatest city in the world. The Germans discovered it in 1904."

- Ron Burgundy, Anchorman
