NamesCon
Adds New Element to January 2015 Show - A Live
Domain Auction Run By RightOfTheDot
|
|
The
expanding
NamesCon
conference in Las Vegas will
have more than additional floor
space and a bigger crowd when the
show returns to the Tropicana
Hotel for its second run
January 11-14, 2015. Today show
organizers announced they are also
adding a live domain auction
that will be conducted by RightOfTheDot,
LLC (ROTD) under a
multi-year, exclusive partnership
with NamesCon. The auction will
include a mix of premium .com
domain names and select premium
names from new gTLDs with a
range of price reserves.
NamesCon
Co-Founder and Executive Producer Richard
Lau said, "“We were
initially reluctant to offer a
domain auction, but the 15 years of
domain auction experience, strength,
reputation, and relationships that
ROTD presented convinced us that
their auction will contribute to the
distinct and diverse activities and
sessions that NamesCon is known and
respected for.”

Jothan
Frakes, Co-Founder and
Content Producer of NamesCon,
concurred saying "Michael
Berkens and Monte Cahn of
Right of the Dot have demonstrated
to me on numerous occasions that
they are invested in their
relationships with the new and
established registries in ways that
extend beyond the sale. Right of the
Dot has the important pre and
post-sale follow-up and quality
assurance to ensure things operate
smoothly. This was a crucial
consideration in the auction vendor
process.”

RightOfTheDot
Director
and President Monte Cahn
said, "We are excited to
work with NamesCon in
establishing premium domain
prices and sales for new and
existing Top Level Domains. We
have worked with more than
20 new registries over
several years in premium name
strategies and sales which
increased the value of their
registry, the end user / buyer
experience, and this really
raises overall domain values
for the industry."
Cahn
added, "Our
experience in conducting many
successful domain auctions is
unmatched in the industry and
we are honored to have been
selected by NamesCon to
conduct the live and online
auction at their events.”
The
Live and Online Domain Auction
will take place be held on
Tuesday, January 13, 2015.
There will be both pre-bidding
on names listed in the auction
as well as an extended auction
after the event that will run
for several weeks. |
