Domainfest is a global conference open for individuals or entities in the domain industry. Its primary objective is to provide an avenue for high quality learning and networking for those interested or engaged in domain business. Domainfest conferences are primarily focused on domain industry trends, advertising and marketing strategy, and domain investment opportunities.[1] Domain auctions are also conducted during the conference.

Domainfest was created by DomainSponsor in 2006. DomainSponsor is primarily engaged in domain monetization and it is a subsidiary of Oversee.net.[2]
