Sydney Domainer Meetup

[DavidL]

Hi Guys,

Want to put something together in Sydney where we can all get together like the Melbourne one in February (only better )

Prepared to put some limited resources into making it a fun evening, so wondering if we can have some suggestions to make it a good turnout & networking event. What would you think of

1. Free beer (obvious I guess!)
2. 12 Mth Nett Magazine subscription to all attendees
3. 10,000 Netfleet Credits to all attendees
4. An expert speaker/seminar (if so, who?)
5. Live informal mini domain auction
6. Other ideas???

Of course the main value from these events lies in just chatting with other likeminded people - networking. However this is dependent on a good turnout so keen to find what would be a drawcard for you?

Please participate in the poll too!

The sooner you announce a date , the easier it will be to attend

 

[Shaun]

Perhaps an SEO firm, ie Bruce Clay? (not him, but someone from his firm)

Matt Cutts?

Unless of course you just "park" it!

Free Beer - Thats all i need, lmao.
12mth nett magazine - already receive this from buying domains from hostess.

Can offer to help out with a venue if needed; plenty of contacts in the bar industry in syd.

I could only attend after my uni exams are over, 26th June at the earliest

 

[TroyW]

Great idea. I'm more likely to attend if the event runs after 5pm.

Yes same.

Thanks for the responses guys - the poll shows some good interest esp from interstate which is great.

OK let's lock in:

1) the beer,
2) the Nett subscription (most people won't have one I don't think)
3) weekday evening event

I'll also investigate a guest speaker of some sort.

Any other suggestions? Netfleet credits or auction not of interest?

Bloody oath Netfleet credits are of interest
I want Netfleet credits or I will spit the dummy, big time

 

[Sway]

Like the others I'd too be interested.

 

[Shaun]

I'd like to see an Auction.

I will volunteer some names.

I wont be interested without reserve though. Perhaps you can ask people interested to submit names for consideration with reserve prices and just take names with realistic prices???

Well we wouldn't want that OK let's throw in some Netfleet credits as an incentive to come too!

Would be fun if there are enough buyers there. I guess if there are reserves there's no huge risk for the vendors.

I'm happy to flight to Sydney... just to learn from the experts

I'm happy to have a beer and chat about SEO , Adsense and monetizing strategies...

 

[Honan]

Ok I am on www.adioso.com.au right now
What date do I tick?

 

[domainlover]

It will probably be in June sometime. Trying to find a 'guest speaker' to work around. Barack Obama's due in Sydney in June but he declined so working on my B-List...

His missus should be available

 

[DavidL]

Still working on the timing but just a thought - would either of these two events make it more worthwhile for interstate visitors to make the effort:

http://www.cebit.com.au/
http://onlineretailer.net/events/or10/home

Both have free entry to the expo

 

[SEOconsultant]

mmm

His missus should be available

What about Sarah Palin?

(I still think she is kind of hot....)

What about if each of us sells some nice domain names and we make the meetup in Fiji?
