Second-Ever Web Host Boot Camp Slated for December

The Virtual Conference for Web Hosting Enthusiasts Scheduled for December 7-9, 2009

PORTAGE, Mich., November 10, 2009 –Web Host Boot Camp today announced its second-ever virtual conference for web hosting companies, hosting resellers, web designers, and other web hosting industry professionals will be held December 7-9, 2009, featuring nearly two dozen educational sessions, networking opportunities, and an exhibit hall with a variety of industry vendors.

The second conference comes on the heels of the phenomenally successful inaugural Web Host Boot Camp held last June, during which hundreds of hosting professionals attended and demonstrated a vital proof-of-concept for the industry – that virtual conferences are effective, desirable and economical alternatives to traditional in-person events. Attendees also offered a wide variety of feedback and critique, and many of these ideas were instrumental in developing the conference in December.

For a limited time, registration to the Web Host Boot Camp in December is free of charge for industry professionals. Attendees must be registered to participate in interactive networking events and to utilize the newly implemented social networking dashboard. In June, more than 85 percent of those who registered for the conference participated in lectures and interactive sessions. More information about registration is available at http://www.webhostbootcamp.net/attendees/signup.php.

“When we formulated the idea for Web Host Boot Camp last year, we faced a lot of really tough questions. On paper, our model looked promising, but in practice, could a virtual conference in our industry succeed? And would attendees find value? It only took a few days after the first conference in June to recognize that the answer to both of these questions is an overwhelming ‘yes,’” said Zachary McClung, president of Web Host Boot Camp. “Now we’re focused on taking it to the next level and refining the concept. In these economic times, the demand for professional development opportunities like Web Host Boot Camp has never been greater.”

The conference will start at 10:00 am eastern time each day and run through the evening. Attendees are able to choose educational sessions from three tracks: Customer Service, Sales & Marketing, and New Technologies & Future Trends. A tentative schedule is available at http://www.webhostbootcamp.net/schedule.

Web Host Boot Camp plans to draw approximately 700 attendees at the next event and has already secured a wide variety of vendor sponsorships, including Turnkey Internet (http://www.turnkeyinternet.net), Kayako (http://www.kayako.com), CDG Commerce (http://www.cdgcommerce.com) and Verio (http://www.verio.com).
