Coming To America
May 12, 2 Comments - Author: Simon JohnsonThis time next week I’ll be flying out of Australia to the USA. Its my second trip the USA in the last 9 months (the video below is just a couple of grabs from my previous trip).
The reason for making the journey to the other side of the planet, is that I’ve been invited to speak on Domaining at a Marketing conference in San Diego. On a personal note, its interesting for me to see that buying & selling domains (including websites) is becoming more mainstream.
Obviously, I’m delighted to be invited to speak and to help raise the profile of the industry, but here’s the thing…. I also love giving back to it – especially an industry that’s given me an “Internet lifestyle” for many years…. so here’s what I’m going to do….

I’m going to stay a few weeks and spend some time interviewing prominent people in the domain name industry – from CEO’s, to parking companies, to young upcoming domaining bloggers. The interviews will be recorded on video and posted up here for your enjoyment.
The $100 Million Dollar question, that I have for you is…
What do you REALLY want to know about domaining?
Just post a comment below and let me know. Remember, everyone started somewhere, so there are no stupid questions – ask away!
Are You Based in LA, San Diego, Southern California?
I’d love to hear from you! Drop me a line on Facebook or direct message me on Twitter and lets catch up!
See you next week.
Simon
P.S. While I’m travelling I will be posting photos and updates on Facebook and Twitter so keep an eye out.

I live in San Diego and have not seen anything announced about a conference here. Where do I find out about it and where in San Diego is it and what day. I have been a domain collector since 2000
Hi Mary Jo,
Its called Coming Home 3 and its on 21st – 23rd of May. I should tell you that its an Internet marketing conference, not a domaining conference. You can find more information about it here: http://www.tubbynerd.com/ComingHome3/
Hope to see you there.
