DomainFest Global, which I've attended for the last two years, will be opening registration for its 2009 edition in a few days.

While the organisers, Oversee.net, haven't made available any information on next year's lineup and schedule, I will be booking my ticket as soon as I can.

Why?

Put very simply DomainFest is a wonderful event.

The cost of attending isn't that high, if previous years are an indicator, and you get a lot for your money.

Techcrunch's Arrington gave the keynote two years ago, while John Battelle gave a fascinating talk last year. Of course last year we also had the playboy girls, but that's another story!

The people who turn up at DomainFest seem to span just about every area of the domain and internet industry, so you never know who you are going to run into in a hallway or at a bar late at night.

The venue, the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel, is nicely located just off Hollywood Boulevard, so you can easily get to shops, restaurants and bars in the area without having to spend a fortune on taxi fares. (The Starbucks nearby did very well out of me last year!)
