I couldn't be happier that Dr. Kevin Ham, a medical doctor, Harvard MBA, programmer, designer, businessman and father of five will Keynote T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Amsterdam.

He's a titan in the industry and much has been written about him. Reinvent and Hitfarm are his best known brands in the business but anyone that knows him knows there is much more to the story. Kevin has agreed to deliver the keynote live, via satellite, which will allow us to interact with him as if he were on our stage! I'll be asking him questions, and will also open it up to the audience. What a great opportunity to ask the world's 'Master of Domains' how he sees the future of our industry

Over the months we've considered everyone from famous technology entrepreneurs to famous movie stars but in the end, we wanted one of the most famous domainers. People are coming to the show to learn more about domains and I can't imagine who would be more valuable on stage than someone of Dr Ham's caliber.

Many of you probably remember the impromptu speech he gave at a previous T.R.A.F.F.I.C. show in Vegas a few years back. It was spontaneous yet it delivered an incredible reaction in the domainer community. It was surely the most forwarded domainer speech of all time. I've embedded it below.

My own personal experience in this industry started with Dr Ham. I had been fascinated with domains for some time but was never really in the business of domains until I sold him Spanish.com.

After that sale I took those funds and bought more names and started to really get involved. I'll never forget meeting him a few months later at the very first Targeted T.R.A.F.F.I.C.show in South Florida. I said, "remember me? I sold you Spanish.com." He said, "If you were staying in the business you should have kept the name". -- That has to be my favorite line I've ever had said to me at a tradeshow.
