Since 2008 I have been working on Innovation Way training project. During my workshops I help people to find more creative solutions for better living and investments.

As a wife of a domainer I attended lots of conferences in Europe and in the United States. Both on my personal life and business I always pay special attention to people. One of my goal is to create appropriate conditions for mutual inspiration and learning from each other. I will take care of it during the third edition of MeetDomainers. See you there!
Daniel Dryzek
CEO & Founder
ddfund.eu
I have been in domain business for 10 years now. In the end of 2000 I set up my domain and hosting company Domeny.org and sold it couple of years later to a Pan-European hosting company Active 24. Since April 2009 I am the full-time domainer. I have gathered around five thousand of domains in my portfolio – mainly .pl and .eu generics. Some of my best names are money.eu, geld.eu, pr.pl, r.pl or historia.pl (history in Polish). I follow the current trends both in Poland and abroad. I think that foreign markets are the best source of inspiration and ideas to implement in Poland. I see business from global and European perspective. My next big goal is to build multi-service ccTLD conglomerate in Europe with domain fund (ddfund.eu), auctions, brokerage (brokerdomen.pl), appraisals, domain marketplace and other services. The third edition of MeetDomainers is also thanks to my wife Agnes. I am a dad of little six months Antonina.

Patrycja Krol
Associate Account Manager – Europe / Asia-Pacific
Sedo
In 2007 I started an apprenticeship for Sedo. My apprenticeship involved working in many different departments at Sedo – I therefore have a good insight into the working processes of Sedo and our client’s specific needs and requirements. Since the beginning of the year I have been working in the international sales team as an associate account manager; my main responsibility being the Polish market due to my Polish origin. I’m looking forward to being able to support and help our Polish market grow and hope to establish closer ties with clients at the MeetDomainers event this August.
Szymon Nieradka
Managing Director
AZ.pl
I am in the domain industry since only half a year. But I certainly could not choose a better time to start working with AZ.pl. Why? Among other things, I will tell you about this during his presentation. My previous experiences were not directly related to the primary AZ business. I dealt with (very indirectly, of course) the production of ships while working as a CIO in the Szczecin Shipyard. Also held various positions in production and sales in BLStream. The end of 2009 I spent creating… games on Facebook.
