Domain
and Hosting Industry Experts to Converge in
Pennsylvania Two Weeks from Today at WHD.usa
|
|
Two
weeks from today
I will pay my first visit to the 7Springs
Ski & Mountain Resort
in Pennsylvania where the
first WorldlHostingDays
conference ever held in America will
be staged May 19-20. As I
told you when first
announcing the event, WHD.usa
is a big deal for both the
hosting and domain industries (the
main event in the WHD series, WHD.global,
drew 6,300 attendees from
around the world to Rust, Germany
in March).

Hea of Channel Sales

While
I have covered dozens of
domain conferences around the
world, this will be my first
time covering a major hosting
conference. I'm sure I will
feel right at home though as
there will be many familiar
faces from the domain
business at 7Springs (no
surprise since domains and
hosting go hand in hand). In
fact the latest promotional
update send out by WHD.usa
features long-time Enom
and Verisign executive Chris
Sheridan, now Head of
Channel Sales at Weebly.com,
as one of the key people
attendees should meet at the
show.
The
WHD.usa release noted, "Many
of us know Chris from his days
at eNom.com evangelizing
TLDs in the Domain Name
Industry. Or, you have
probably seen his selfies on
Twitter. Talk to Chris to
learn more about the recent
launch of Weebly for Hosts -
the first time Weebly has
opened its 30 million user
platform to web hosts,
registrars, and telcos and
given them direct access to
Weebly's core web site
creator tools. You will
find Chris at networking
activities and/or beta-testing
Periscope on Twitter!" |

Of
course, while it is
great see old friends a
key reason to go to
shows is to meet interesting
and influential new
people and there will be
no shortage of those at
WHD.usa. Featured along
with Sheridan in today's
WHD.usa recommendations
on who to meet was Aaron
Phillips, Chief
Business Officer, at cPanel
(if you gave ever built
a website you are very
familiar with CPanel).
WHD.usa
noted, "Aaron is
also self-nominated as
the funniest
executive in the hosting
industry. Mr. Phillips
can be seen on tour
throughout most of the
WHD shows across the
world offering 1-on-1
comedy shows (AKA
trolling you) live on
the exhibit floor.
Master negotiating
skills, novice mind
reading, and time travel
all result in big
business deals with
plenty of synergies and
cross-functional
results. Don’t let his
big buzz words, dynamic
personality, or
celebrity status stop
you from visiting with
him during WHD.usa. Just
like cPanel &
WHM, consider
Aaron Phillips your
Hosting Executive of
Choice!" |

If
you are in the domain
business and will be
going to WHD.usa too,
drop us a note (editor
at dnjournal.com). We
may want to put together
a roll call for
our next pre-show update
to give readers more
information on who they
will have an opportunity
to connect with at this
landmark
event. |
