TRAFFIC DownUnder is fast approaching and what a conference it's shaping up to be! It looks like Fabulous is pulling out all the stops to put on not only the most fantastic business conference but also what looks like to be the most entertaining.According to a recent press release, "The presentations are individual, professional, well prepared and highly structured from experts that are putting their reputations on the line for excellence."
I have the privilege of being asked to be one of the speakers I couldn't agree with this statement more. I know that many of the speakers are already starting to prepare high quality analysis that will raise the bar for future domain conferences.
The Australian domainer community is pretty excited about the conference and I'm sure you will see a lot of new faces as well as old friends. I think that like the Olympics Fabulous has chosen to not only put together an outstanding event but they are show casing Australia for the domaining world community.
The conference entertainment includes helicopter rides off the beach, zorbing, go-kart racing, comedians, parasailing, jet boat thrill rides (they are a LOT of fun), Aboriginal dancers, open bars and of course a proper Aussie Barbie. I know that a whole of the wives and girl friends will attend just for the fun activities and of course to be pampered at the day spa.
Unlike conferences based in the USA you need to register now! It takes time to organize travel arrangements, visas, hotel bookings etc. You can't leave this to the last minute. I'd recommend taking a few more days to explore a bit of Australia - trust me when I say you'll be completely blown away by the beaches, the people and the fun that you can have.
One of the great things about the global financial crisis is that the Aussie dollar has done a nose dive! It's cheap to come down here for anyone from the USA or Europe. So come on Downunder and learn to say, "G'day" the proper real way mate :-)

TRAFFIC DownUnder Official Schedule
Monday offers three pre-conference activities. Paintball starts the day as you battle brawn and wits to conquer your domain competitors/counter-parts. Zorbing offers the joy of pushing your friends down huge hills in a rubber ball! Or try your luck and see if you have what it takes to be the champion of the course for go-kart racing.
Tuesday night you can shoot down some cold beers and put a shrimp on the barbie during the beach barbecue. While you have a "feed" you can be entertained by fire twirling dancers and live animals - koalas, snakes and a wombat.
Wednesday night the festivities continue with a Gala Dinner featuring an open bar, a five star menu, web development stories, charity auction, and the highly regarded magician comedian Matt Hollywood! Prepare to be amazed by the wit, charm and magic of Australia's greatest illusionist.
Thursday, after a hard day of domain trading and premier auctions, throw on your board shorts and bikinis. Climb on board the fast catamaran and transfer to a private island on the Gold Coast Broadwater. The Fabulous.com Beach Party offers parasailing, helicopter joy flights, jet boat thrill rides, beach volleyball, swimming, Aboriginal dancers, a musical trio, cocktail bar, gourmet steaks & seafood, and ending with a fireworks display.
Friday wraps up the events with a morning start of surfing lessons taught by champion instructor Cheyne Horan, and an animal sanctuary in the afternoon showcasing most every form of Australian wildlife.
Book early for the pre and post activities as space is limited. Each activity has a nominal booking fee to ensure your attendance as the conference sponsors pay the majority of the costs and transportation. We apologize in advance as bookings after the 10th of November cannot be accepted.
Thank You: Fabulous.com, EuroDNS, Parked.com, Aftermarket.com, InternetX, NameJet and AusRegistry are the sponsors of the entertainment activities!
