Rick Schwartz sent out an update on the current status of the upcoming TRAFFIC Domain Conference and Expo, in Las Vegas:
Greetings!
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. has offered some of the lowest prices we have ever had but that is about to end. Right now when you sign up for T.R.A.F.F.I.C. it includes 2 nights at the Bellagio for $1495 or 3 nights for $1595. An incredible deal at a 5 star hotel.
Starting Friday April 4th, (a week from this Friday) the hotel part of the admission is going bye bye. The price will be $1595 and it will no longer include the hotel rooms at the Bellagio. That was a VERY special offering and it is now ending. We won’t be doing that at the Fountainbleu either. We did it to guarantee we would sell our entire room block and so mission accomplished. But we want to give you plenty of notice so there are no surprises. After you Buy your ticket you will want to register for your hotel rooms. A credit for each night will appear on your room bill.
This show that starts on May 28th with Cabanas opened on the 27th will be larger and more important than last year. With so much hype out there it is hard to get straight talk anywhere from anyone. Many are fully invested and objectivity is a hard commodity to find in our small world.
But there is always T.R.A.F.F.I.C. The place that stands for B.U.S.I.N.E.S.S. in the domain industry. We don’t need to re-invent ourselves. What we offer is unique and those that recognize that keep coming back. It’s that simple. We keep the noise out and the business in. T.R.A.F.F.I.C. MEANS B.U.S.I.N.E.S.S.
That simple recipe that has served us for a decade. Our only agenda is your business and how can T.R.A.F.F.I.C. help you make more money. And those on stage are there to help you and not simply to sell you something. They are contributors to YOUR success. They get rewarded for helping our attendees. That is why self promotion at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. is limited and not encouraged. The best way to do business these days is to have credibility. Once you lose that, game over.
We focus on domain investment and the future. We are a domain name investment show. We don’t focus on registries or registras. but they are always welcome to participate and provide you valuable information for your business. Their job is to focus on us. Serve us and keep us in the loop. Understand their role and respect the fact that the choices are overwhelming and there has to be a reason to do business. A vision.
I have always been clear that if we take you away from your families it won’t be to waste your time. You can party at home with your friends. Come to T.R.A.F.F.I.C. to focus on your futures and keep up to date with real events and trends.
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. welcomes all gTLD companies to come and make their case why YOU should invest with THEM. They will have stage time to explain their visions and talk intelligently to the #1 Domain investor group in the world. Those without answers need not apply. We don’t play games and we don’t play favorites. We open it up to all.
I know you are all hyped out. So I won’t add to it. That’s my case for T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Las Vegas. I am now starting on the agenda and that will be published in the weeks ahead. I’ll keep you up to date when I can. Check the schedule often starting in May as it will be changed and added to daily as we ramp up.
The bottom line is that domain names are taking center stage and are going to be part of the culture in a way we have never seen nor dreamed of. The T.R.A.F.F.I.C. show has been there from day one. There was a mission. Take domains names from obscurity and make them the center of the universe. And T.R.A.F.F.I.C. .continues to lead the way with a lot of help from a lot of friends.
Have a GREAT Day!
Rick Schwartz
