“The San Diego event, hosted by SanDiego.com, was the highlight of the year for the Geodomain industry,” Associated Cities co-founder and Chicago.com operator Josh Metnick said. “The Mayor of San Diego, Jerry Sanders, kicked off our event with a welcome speech, futurist David Brin provided a keynote and the educational tracks were top-notch. Even though the Expo came together in a few weeks, attendance was high. This year attendees can expect an even better program, with even better content than any of our previous conferences have had,” Metnick added.
