October 14), NamesCon will be
staging a big one-day event on the
opposite side of the world. NamesCon

Shanghai, China at Hyatt's
Andaz Xintiandi Hotel where it

This will be NamesCon's first event
on the Chinese mainland.
I just
got a copy of the conference's final
agenda (.pdf file)
today. After registration, it will
begin with a welcoming speech from
World Hosting Days/NamesCon CEO Soeren von Varchmin.
