New York, Jan. 20 - Domainmonster.com and Telnic Limited, the registry operator for the new .tel top level domain today announced their joint sponsorship for the annual DOMAINfest Global 2009 conference in Hollywood later this month in advance of the public launch of .tel.

Attracting domain industry "A-listers", DOMAINfest is a key milestone on the calendar for volume domain owners. Keynote speeches include Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak, whilst the after parties extend to Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion (in aid of charity Autism Speaks)! "It's the conference all domain portfolio holders simply don't want to miss", commented Matt Mansell, CEO at Domainmonster.com.

Commenting further, Matt said, "We are extremely excited to be supporting Domainfest at such a key time for .tel. The public launch of .tel commences with Landrush on 3rd Feb 2009, when anyone can purchase any available .tel domain in a first come, first served basis, so it's just a perfect time to be educating key industry players about the huge impact the .tel domain is going to have."

We're pleased to be joining them at DOMAINfest as the team is well placed to talk .tel with the volume domain buyers."
