Word to the wise. It's expensive.

T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Downunder was well attended, had multiple sponsorship's and a kickback from the venue, and still lost money.
it is indeed expensive, but Traffic Downunder was fantastic all those years ago, it was the first real Australian commercial event! Great international speaking line up - the website is still live from 2008 :) I got to speak and met a whole heap of people Im still friends with today

Thanks keep the feedback coming, This would not be on a scale of Traffic Downunder.
Probably 2 days 10 am - 4 pm. This can help people fly in and out as needed
Sydney CBD Hotel Conference room.
Focus is on Australia .com.au only, Australian business and digital economy development etc
Sorry no grandiose parties, resorts or dj's, no paid speaking etc.
Also suitable for the many newcomers to online business, Australian domain names as well as those who have been sitting on their domain names hoping for "that day' to come when they build it, get VC or sell it...This may be that very day to get people moving or even sell it to someone else who will do something with it.

  • Online business workshops.
  • Peer / Expert Domain name portfollio review - Keep monetise and build, sell or drop / non renew
  • Workshops also if time permitted.
