India's
3rd annual DomainX
conference will be held August
6-7 at Shangra-La's Eros
Hotel in New Delhi, India. The
event was launched to fuel growth in
the domain business throughout India
and toward that end it has been held
in a different location each year,
starting with Hyderabad in 2014
then Bangalore in 2015
and now the nation's capital in New
Delhi.
With
each outing, the goal of DomainX
organizers Manmeet Pal-Singh
Mahal and Gaurav Kohli is
to have a bigger event than the last
with more registrants, speakers and
sponsors from around the world. With
respect to putting industry leading
experts on their stage, the 2016
agenda features a line
up that any conference would be
delighted to present. On the main
business day Sunday, August 7,
in the morning alone, attendees will
see in succession, Chief Guest
Samiran Gupta, the Head of India
for ICANN, followed by two
keynote addresses
- one from legendary domain

investor
and Uniregistry Founder Frank
Schilling and another
from celebrated developer Bill
Karamouzis (CEO at TeachMe.com).
The
main business day at DomainX 2016
wil get off to a fast start
with successive addresses from (left
to right) Samiran Gupta
(ICANN India), Frank Schilling
(Uniregistry) and Bill Karamouzis
(TeachMe.com CEO).
In
yet another interesting talk before
the 1pm Lunch Break Sunday,
Sedo's Global CSO Dima
Bietzke will have a presentation
called Premium Domain Names:
The hidden champions for your
success. With ace moderator Braden
Pollock from
LegalBrandMarketing.com on hand to
elicit the most valuable information
from panelists possible, four more
business sessions will follow lunch
before the day and conference closes
with a 5pm Awards Ceremony.

The
afternoon Sunday will begin
with Donuts Inc.
Business Development
Director Anand Vora
answering the question Is
India a Domain Investor's
Market? Next up attendees
who need answers to their
legal questions will have an
opportunity to Ask the
Domain Name Legal Experts
in a panel discussion that
will feature Zak
Muscovitch, Rodney D
Ryder, Gurpreet Singh
Monga & Ankur
Raheja.
Another
highly anticipated address
is scheduled for 3:15 pm
when Jon Yau will
talk about the Evolution
of StockPhoto.com - a
domain he bought for $250,000
and built into a highly
successful ecommerce
business. The show's final
business session also looks
like a winner with a
panel discussion about
domain values called Will
This Sell? Jon
Yau, Bill Karamouzis,
Jordi G Cros, AbdulBasit
Makrani, Paul Singh and
Gaurav Kohli will all
weigh in on how to improve
your prospects for making
end user sales. |

kick off the DomainX
afternoon sessions July

While
that sums up the Sunday schedule you
may be saying, "wait a minute -
didn't you forget something - what
about opening day - Saturday,
July 6!?" There will be plenty
going on that day too but it will be
devoted entirely to what just about
every conference goer worldwide says
is the most important reason they go
to shows - the opportunity for
face to face networking and relationship
building. DomainX is going to
facilitate that in a spectacular
way by taking guests on a
daytrip to the world famous Taj
Mahal in Agra on Saturday.
Where
else but DomainX can you do some
casual networking while visiting
one of
the world's most famous icons - the Taj
Mahal? (Taj
Mahal image from Bigstock).
After
everyone is back from the Taj Mahal
- a full evening of networking will
still be ahead of them, starting
with tea, coffee & cookies
at 5:30pm. Saturday evening will
also include a whisky tasting
session and dinner (at
9:30pm) with festivities continuing
until around midnight.
DomainX
is set up in a way that allows you
to customize your conference
experience by buying tickets
only to the events you want to attend.
Just want to go to Saturday night
networking? There's a ticket for
that. Just Sunday's business
sessions? There's one for that too,
as well as other individual events
and reduced price tickets that
combine events.

If
you are a blogger (or
want to be one), you should
also know that there will be
a separate conference
- the first ever BlogX
event - at the same hotel Friday,
July 5 (the day before
DomainX starts). Domains and
blogs have a lot in common
(if you want to have a blog
you would be wise to build
it on your own domain
rather than a platform you
have no control over), so
you might want to make a
3-day weekend of it and
hit both shows. |

In
addition to drawing in Indian and
international Internet entrepreneurs
with these unique networking
opportunities, DomainX and BlogX are
also attracting an impressive array
of corporate sponsors who want to
reach them (and will have representatives
there to do so), including Sedo,
Donuts Inc., OpenSRS, MicroHost,
Mapta.gs, ThemeMarket,
GetVOIP, Airfare.in
and the Domain Name Owners
Association of India.
Whether
you come to New Delhi for a day,
two, three (or even more, as we will
do so we can explore the city),
co-organizers Manmeet Pal Singh
Mahal and Gaurav Kohli are looking
forward to welcoming you to DomainX
2016 and giving you an inside
look at the rapidly growing Indian
and global domain name industry.
