I really recommend this following unique event -- the luncheon panel discussion and afternoon seminar. It is the first time anyone has been able to bring together regional and international experts and leading industry figures to talk about the huge opportunities often overlooked by Hong Kong Internet entrepreneurs, that is, domain name related soft infrastructure of the Internet. We hope to discuss a wide range of issues involving governance, market development and investment. This is truly the first time in Hong Kong. I hope to see you there!

Theme: Domain Portfolio Investment Prospects
The Rising Cyber Real Estate Market -- Developers, Speculators and Investors.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a critical network infrastructure for the Internet. As commerce over the Internet grows with the exploding online population, DNS has also grown beyond simply being an infrastructural component. Domain Names today represents prime investment opportunities as cyber real estate. Prominent banks in the US have started accepting domain name portfolios as collaterals for loans.

From speculation, to development, to portfolio management, Domain Investment has arrived. As the US and Europe warms up to this new hotspot for investments, Hong Kong, China and Asia remains relatively underdeveloped. With sharp investment sense and fast paced financial intelligence, Asia will not be behind for too long.
