and
impressive experience with some 1,000
attendees on hand (most coming from
throughout mainland China). One of
the North American guests was domain
consultant Bill Sweetman from
NameNinja.com
who was kind enough to share some of
his photos and notes from the show
(where Bill was also among the featured
speakers).

An
international group of domain pros
got together for dinner during show
week. Above (top row L-R) are Anand
Vora (Donuts) and Bill
Sweetman (NameNinja), with
(bottom row L-R)
Jian (Jane) Zhang (DotAsia), Kevin
Kopas (PIR) & Fernando
Espana (Neustar).
Bill
also gave us a link to a nicely
produced video
recap of the Global
Domain Industry Summit. The clip,
that runs just under 5 minutes, will
give you a great inside look at
conference week.
Another
major show is coming up in China
just three weeks from now. That will
be the World
Domain Conference that
will be held in Wuzhen July 6-9,
2016. I ran a preview of
that event last month that you can
check out here.
