The early bird registration rate which is in effect until 1.11.11 is $695.
Rates will increase incrementally along the way, hitting $995 for on site registrations.
As an extra added incentive, the 1st 100 people signing up to attend will have a choice of a free activity on Tuesday March 1:
Atlantis’ Behind the Scenes Aquarium Tour
Catamaran Snorkel Sail Adventure
Cigar and Rum Tasting
Deep Sea Fishing
Nassau Shopping Shuttle.
The show sounds like a winner and we are planning on attending.
If you’re going I would recommend booking a room at the Cove Hotel which is part of Atlantis, you will thank me later.
The Bahamas is one of the countries under consideration for the new cluster of .COM servers.
It sounds like you will enjoy paying $10 per .COM domain per year to them.
There will be 8 .COM clusters ~ 7 new ones beyond the Private Verisign cluster.
The Cove is where we have our block for the conference!! Mike is right, it is THE BEST!!!
“it is THE BEST!!!”
===
Domainers are certainly the High-Rollers of the Internet
Each conference and meeting has Bigger and Better High-Rollers than the rest!!
Countries are loving that. The Cayman Islands and Canada also want to get
into the .COM Cluster deployment.
At $10 per .COM per cluster, with 8 clusters, that is only $80 per .COM domain per year. That is chump-change or ? “Pigeon Feed” ? for all the High.Rollers.
Laura,
Us locals know that Ocean Club (also owned by Atlantis) is the best spot on the island. Book in there if you want *the best*. “Tower of Power” at Atlantis is lots of fun and I’m sure (har har) everyone will be enjoying that too.
If anyone wants a tour of our DC, let me know. We’re the only Tier 1 facility in the country.
See you there Mike !!

We’re the only [land-based] [amateur] Tier 1 facility in the country.

There are security pros from the financial industry on their yachts with their own satellite networks. They do not allow domainers to get near their “junk”.

I know Ammar, Laura and the rest of the Thought Convergence people pretty well, and I can state with no hesitation that they are not the Ocean Club types.
I’m sure if Ammar ever got married he would consider the Ocean Club but this is going to be a show/party of epic proportions and you couldn’t find a better place than the Cove w/ a nightly dose of Liv east, otherwise known as Aurora.
1st bottle of Goose is on Ammar

Big

Good luck to everyone with that “concept” that you “own” domain names.
As 2011 approaches, some people will of course migrate to The.Real.Internet
Eventually, this Toy.Internet will fade away… along with your “investments”
Be weary of Jamie Mullholland. He is a pro of a skewing financial information. Mr. Mullholland never paid back any of his investors on Cain Nightclub in New York city. Cain was one of the most profitable clubs in New York, but investors didn’t receive any return on their investment. Mr. Mulholland then licensed the Cain brand to Sol Kerzner and the Atlantis Hotel, for the highly successful “Cain at The Cove” adult pool. Amazingly, Mr. Kerzner gave this guy a licensing deal. Mr. Mulholland, was suppose to pay his investors a percentage of the licensing deal, but he never did. I hear his investors now realizing they will never see a dime owed to them are going to sue Kerzner International Resorts.
