that his company, Guta.com,
helped sponsor and George was kind
enough to send us some photos and
highlights from the event so we
could share them with you.

The next two days, Thursday

to benefit from a wide variety
of presentations, panel
discussions and networking
opportunities.

The wide ranging panel discussions
at NamesCon China 2018
included this one moderated by Jun
Yang of West.cn (at far left)
that covered the current state of New
gTLDs. China has become the
best market for some of the new
extensions that have been licensed
to operate there.
Below:
The final panel discussion Thursday
focused on how to make
Successful Domain Transactions.
It featured (left to right): Host Yue
Feng from Newg.tv, George
Hong (Guta.com), Peibi Wang,
Giuseppe Graziano (GGRG.com),
Xiaochun Deng (YuMing.com)
and Jim Wang (Goddady).
During
this one-hour discussion the
panelists covered end user domain
sales, the type of names end users
are buying, the potential impact of
New GLTDs on the domain industry if
ICANN opens another round of new
GLTD applications, the difference in
how mainstream domaining is viewed
by participants in China and the
West and the future value and sales
cycle of domain names.
There
were many more business
sessions throughout the day
as well as a global online
domain auction on
Friday.
At
right & below: In
between seminars and during
afternoon tea breaks,
attendees visited the Exhibition
Hall to get information
from service providers like
domain brokerage Guta.com
(at right) or enjoy some
game and entertainment
provided by companies like
the .CLUB registry. |

The purple men from .XYZ
were also a big draw in the Exhibition
Hall where they took on TrustAsia
in some Superhero cosplay.
At

conference activities,
attendees re-fueled Thursday
evening at a VIP Dinner
Party hosted by Cloudfest
China and NamesCon
China.
June
wound up being a busy month
for NamesCon as the China
show came less than three
weeks after their first
NamesCon Europe conference
in Valencia, Spain.
Events like these have made
it possible for domain |
industry
participants to build business
relationships and
personal friendships around
the globe.
That is something that I've
always believed makes this one
of the best of all worlds for
Internet entrepreneurs. |
