Domain industry professionals from around the world have begun arriving in Wuzhen, China where the World Domain Conference (WDC) will get underway tomorrow (Wednesday, July 6) and continue through Saturday. The event, hosted by Yumi.com, is held just once every three years. It comes on the heels of another successful show in China - the Domain Name Industry Summit -  that drew approximately 1,000 guests to Hangzhou last month.

While most of the WDC attendees will, of course, be from China, our Facebook page is filled with posts from friends in the U.S., Europe, India and other regions who are going to Wuzhen too. Among them is Donuts Director of Business Development Anand Vora who has graciously offered to send us some photos and highlights from WDC  to share with you as the conference unfolds. For another viewpoint, veteran domain investor Deepak Daftari, who is making the trip from India, will be sending us his review of the event after it concludes.

In addition  to domain investors and brokers (like Guta.com's George Hong who was featured in a Lowdown post Sunday), various company representatives and  founders of other domain conferences are also going to WDC. The latter group will include Domaining Europe's Dietmar Stefitz and Manmeet Pal Singh from India's DomainX conference.
