As TRAFFIC Ft. Lauderdale ended, it’s back to business as usual.
Some liked it, some did not.
Those that loved it have a reason, those that didn’t get what they wanted by attending seem to have a specific agenda to ponder over.
The bottom line is: business goes on, with or without mass gatherings.
The biggest advantage of domain conferences is to physically meet people you would not otherwise have the opportunity to interact with, or whose online persona you cannot fully grasp.
There’s a psychological stronghold during domain conferences as well: online business outside the conference’s sphere seems to come to a freeze. When the domain conferences end, things resume their normal pace.
A day later and I’m swamped with offers on Sedo. Coincidental? I think that once a conference comes to an end, buyers loosen up and open themselves to making offers. They have money to spend, potentially the full wad of money that they intended to bid on at a domain conference’s auction – which apparently they didn’t.
So let’s go back to doing business – before the next domain show begins.
I wrote something similar in a recent post on my blog. I completely agree with you it is time for everyone to get back to business.
That’s true.. Business goes on. But this time sales were less then previous TRAFFIC domain conference..
