Domainfest Global 2012

The most recent conference was held at Fairmont Miramar in Santa Monica, California on January 31 to February 2, 2012. Twitter co-founder Biz Stone was be the keynote speaker. Based on the line-up of speakers, the event will focus on search engine optimization (SEO).[3] You can find the complete list of speakers here. It was noted by Mike Berkens, himself a famous domainer, that DOMAINfest 2012 did not have any actual domainers on its lineup of speakers and experts.[4] The attendance for DOMAINfest 2012 was around 600 people, about 100 less than the year before. It was noted that this seemed to include more newcomers than in years past as well.[5]
