Rio
de Janeiro in Brazil.
Conference founder Abner Duarte,
a native of Brazil who now lives in
Boston, has put together an agenda
and roster of speakers
that will give attendees valuable
insight into domains, investing,
eCommerce and startup businesses.
|
Among
the many speakers that
Duarte and Associate
Producer Jodi Chamberlain
are excited about having on
the Domaining Americas stage
will be Núbia Mota,
Sales Director at
VTEX
OMS, Omnichannel (VTEX
is an extremely popular ecommerce
platform in Latin America).
Many of the region's domain
registrants are interested
in developing their own
ecommerce sites, so Ms.
Mota's Saturday morning talk
on how marketing is evolving
in South America is expected
to be one of the
conference's most popular
sessions.
Núbia, who is also a professor of Marketing MBA at
the Federal University of Rio de
Janeiro, will help attendees
identify the top
trends, challenges and
opportunities in eCommece
today.
One
of Sunday's highly
anticipated sessions will be
What is GDPR?
Everything you need to know
about General Data
Protection Regulations
that will be presented by
|
Núbia Mota,
Sales Director
VTEX OMS, Omnichannel |
|
BlackNight
Solutions CEO Michele Neylon.
GDPR is the new European
privacy law that has caused
many domain Whois records to
be scrubbed of registrant
contact information and also
caused a good deal of
consternation among
registries and other
industry websites who are
trying to figure out how to
avoid running afoul of the
new regulations.
|
I
noted that startups
will also be among
the main topics
addressed at
Domaining Americas.
One of the key
sessions in that
category will
feature two leaders
from the Rio
startup community,
Fabio Diaz and
Ricardo
Hechtman,
with moderator Braden
Pollock on
Saturday
afternoon. |
|
Abner
Duarte
Domaining Americas
Founder |
Ricardo
will also conduct a
solo session on
Net Weaving (a
more simple,
reciprocal approach
to networking that
focuses on helping
others solve
problems) on Sunday
morning.
If
you check out the full
roster of speakers
you will see a lot
of other experts
that are widely
known in the global
domain industry,
including Brad
Lemire (Sedo), Alfredo
Pinochet (LatinTLD),
Erica Saito
(Radix Registry), Jeff
Sass (.CLUB),
Rubens Kuhl (Nic.br)
Daniel Fink (ICANN,
Brazil) and
Domaining Americas
founder Abner
Duarte, to name
just a few.
Guests
are expected to
begin arriving at
the Hyatt Friday
evening, so informal
networking will get
underway well before
the show opens with
Duarte's welcoming
comments Saturday
morning at 9:30.
There will also be
an official
networking party
Saturday night that
will run from 9pm to
1am. We expect to
have some photos and
highlights coming in
from the event and
will of course share
those with you in
this column. |
