Overview of upcoming Geo Domain conference.
Ron Jackson is the keynote speaker. Dan Pulcrano, David Castello, Ahmed Farooq and others will be speaking.
Josh says: Geo is hot and real. You can touch local. You can be virtually local/global. Names of places change very rarely, unlike some word trends that fall in and out of fashion.

***FS*** I kind of view everything as local.. but it's hard to change human behavior and people naturally grivitate to typing domain names which describe their local jurisdiction or desired subject matter: ( ie. seattleplumbers.com, travelchina.com) .. I'm sure an individual could learn a great deal attending a conference like this.
We find ourselves in the odd position of clients who are afraid their website will reach outside the local area. They sell products that don't ship well and hate to even show ads to those who can't pick up from their store.

Great group of people, and an excellent organization.
Anyone who owns a geo/community name; whether they qualify for formal membership or not (ie must own/operate a city.com domain); should be there.
Done right, the continuously growing income these babies throw off (and for as long as they're up and running) is impressive indeed.
