Luckily, that part forever stayed in Vegas!<\/p>\n<p>TRAFFIC kept its promises as well, and although I&#8217;ve made it a rule to attend every other year, it&#8217;s an opportunity I would advise anyone seriously engaging in domaining and entrepreneurship to seize.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve heard the usual cliche excuses many times before: but the ticket is expensive, but the trip is expensive, but the hotel is expensive &#8211; they come from industry amateurs that have full time jobs and domaining to them is a hobby or a pastime. To the rest of us, conference expenses are tax deductible business expenses; just keep hold of every receipt.<\/p>\n<p>For any professional who is actively engaging in technology, content creation, development, advertising and sales, TRAFFIC serves as the ultimate opportunity to meet with other professionals and collaborate in projects.<\/p>\n<p>My most recent experience at <a href=\"http:\/\/acro.net\/blog\/business\/things-you-missed-out-if-you-didnt-attend-traffic-2012\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>TRAFFIC Ft. Lauderdale in October 2012<\/strong><\/a>, was the ultimate so far, as it generated new, solid business relationships. I wish I could disclose what I worked on for the past six months or so, but I&#8217;m bound to a code of conduct dictated by top business ethics. Still, you might get a glimpse of that work during this TRAFFIC; it&#8217;s up to the other party to disclose or not.<\/p>\n<p>To recap: <a href=\"http:\/\/targetedtraffic.com\/program\/2013-schedule.php\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>TRAFFIC is a solid domain conference<\/strong><\/a>, and a unique opportunity to study, determine and help define business trends. You can be a follower, or a contributor to the next exciting set of things in our industry, you will be both motivated and invigorated &#8211; as long as you stay sober in Sin City, Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I attended TRAFFIC Las Vegas in 2010, it was my first time in Sin City and my second time attending the TRAFFIC domain conference.
