The
2nd annual edition
of New York's NameSummit
conference will be held in a
new location next summer. The
big event that debuted last
August at the Hilton
Midtown Manhattan Hotel will move a
few blocks south to the Westin
Times Square for the 2018 show
that will be staged August 6th
& 7th.
Jason
Schaeffer, who co-founded the
conference with Steven Kaziyev,
gave me the Lowdown on the 2018
event this afternoon. Schaeffer
said, "Our first event provided
unsurpassed networking opportunities
for the lucky attendees and a
positive showcase for domains and
new TLDs. I’m happy to say that we
are back to help anyone in the
digital

|
branding space, and remain committed
to a providing a platform to
showcase domain names as an integral
part for a branding initiatives."

City in August 2017.
Schaeffer
added, "Thrilled by the
feedback and overall success of the
inaugural NameSummit, Steve and I
turned our attention to find a way
to add more value for
attendees, speakers and sponsors.
Building on the startup and
coaching component of the
conference was important, so we have
created Pitchfest Global for
2018."

"Among
other things, Pitchfest
Global is a contest where
the finalists will be able
showcase their innovative
ideas to an expert panel of
influencers, business
leaders, and a live
audience.
Additionally, the NameSummit
and NamesCon
teams are working
together on Pitchfest to
support digital
entrepreneurship and
innovation, and give
Pitchfest a truly
“global” reach. If
you have a new business idea
or marketing concept to
propel your business to new
heights then Pitchfest
Global is for you!"
Schaeffer
also noted, "The prizes
and promotional
opportunities for Pitchfest
Global will be announced
at NamesCon in January
(NamesCon runs January 28-31,
2018 in Las Vegas). |

|
However, we can already say
that the winner of Pitchfest
Global may reap the greatest
reward of this collaboration
by receiving assistance to
position their new concept
and reach 100s of thousands
of people, if not
more." |
"Jodi
Chamberlain is returning with us
to make sure the event is a
success," Schaeffer added.
"Be sure to join us at
NamesCon where the NameSummit
team will be at Booth 1 to
share more information about
Pitchfest Global and accept
applications to become a Pitchfest
Global participant."
Schaeffer

one, or are one in the making,
