Leaving on a Jet Plane

It’s been quite a while since I last blogged and after a hiatus of two and half years I’m heading back into the sky and around the world….well, sort of anyway. I should say that I’ve been going a little stir crazy in the island paradise that is Australia and it’s with welcome relief that I’m writing this blog.

Given wars and the current state of chaos in the travel industry I’m traveling to Europe via the USA. Yes, you heard that right….Melbourne to Sydney to San Francisco to London. After a brief jaunt around Europe, I’ll then be heading back to the USA and Austin, Texas for NamesCon. To say that I’m about to clock up a few frequent miles is an understatement to say the least.

There are a number of things that are different about this trip compared to every one that I’ve made to date. For a start, my wife Roselyn and the ParkLogic COO will be with me for the entire journey, and we will be catching up with more of the ParkLogic team at NamesCon.

The biggest difference for me is that after NamesCon I’ll be staying in the USA. Yes, you read that right. I’ll be based out of Fort Lauderdale in Florida and flying around the USA on business trips for the following 1-2 months. I can categorically say that being in the US time zone will be a wonderful experience compared to my regular pre-Australian sunrise calls.

I would like to take a brief minute to introduce to you the ParkLogic account and sales managers. Andrew Miles is the account manager and Matt Herbert the sales manager. Both of them will be at NamesCon and I’m sure would love to have a chat to see if we can help you with your domains. Don't forget to checkout the ParkLogic booth and have a chat with both Matt and Andrew.

I have the privilege of delivering the first keynote on the break-out state and three masterclasses in domain monetization. Here is the schedule:

31st Aug, 11am  Kenote on the future of the domain industry|
1st Sept, 10am  State of monetization masterclass
1st Sept, 11am Monetization masterclass
1st Sept, 12pm  The future of monetization

Each of the sesions will be jammed packed with great information and as many insights that I can deliver in the time alotted.

I’d better get going now that my flight has just been called. I’ll see you on the flipside….since Australia is actually up over and not downunder. 😉
