The next big domain even is set for The Domain Roundtable from April 18th-21, in San Francisco California at the Shertaton Place Hotel.

Among the actives and speakers planed are: (from Domainroundtable.com site)

Matt is a great source of all things Google and most importantly he is an expert on Google Search Engine Algorithms.

He literally wrote some of the original Google algorithms and he is listed on several Google patents.

We will be hosting a “Matt at the Roundtable – Question and Answer session” where he will be answering questions that people send in prior to the event.
