Steve Forbes, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Forbes and the Editor-in-Chief of Forbes magazine, will be the keynote speaker of the upcoming T.R.A.F.F.I.C. internet domain name conference being held in Hollywood, Florida. The T.R.A.F.F.I.C. East 2007 show will be held from October 9th to October 13, 2007.

Mr. Forbes, in his keynote address, will talk about the parallels between historical investment and “entrepreneurial epochs in American history — such as the Gold Rush, the advent of the oil and railway industries at the turn of the century, real estate and the information technology revolution — and current opportunities in Internet traffic.” He will also discuss the domain name and internet traffic market and how it’s maturing, as well the economic opportunities.

The T.R.A.F.F.I.C. East 2007 conference is the domain name industry’s leading industry event. It brings domain owners, domain registrars, pay-per-click aggregators, sponsors, Wall Street investors, and financial and advertising executives together with analysts and industry experts.

T.R.A.F.F.I.C. East 2007 is resented by the World Association of Domain Name Developers, Inc. (WADND). There will be a lot of other prominent speakers other than Steve Forbes, including:
