What does 88 mean?

Depending on your region 88 can mean nothing or it can mean everything.

You can think of it as a figure associated with the word "conference" resulting in a web address easy to remember, but in Chinese culture the number 88 symbolizes fortune and prosperity because in Mandarin the word 8 sounds similar to the word that implies wealth. Also, the shape of the Chinese character for 8 implies that a person (or organization) will have a great, wide future as the shape of the character starts narrow at the top and then gets wider toward the bottom.

Therefore the number 8 is considered to be the luckiest number in Chinese culture, and companies names, phone numbers, retail prices and even car plates often contain many "8".
