Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak will be the keynote speaker at the 2009 DomainFest Global conference which will take place January 28-30, 2009 in Hollywood, California. Wozniak, who co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs, is a dynamic speaker, and it will be good to hear him speak. I was at the 2008 DomainFest in Hollywood, and thought it was a fantastic show. I am planning to attend the show, and am now looking forward to hearing Steve Wozniak speak.
