While the NamesCon Global 2019 conference attracted domain industry participants from around the world, a lot of people, for one reason or another, were not able to make the trip to Las Vegas where the big event ran January 27-30. While I filed daily photos and highlights from the show, covering activities that ran on multiple tracks from early morning until well into the night didn't leave time to include detailed breakdowns of what was said in the many outstanding business sessions that were held throughout the week. Fortunately, that information is available now thanks to an excellent (and free) 28-page NamesCon Global Trend Report that has been produced and released by the conference.

With text written by Jordan Yerman and photography by Antworx, the report, in its introduction, says "We captured  

every actionable takeaway, tweetable phrase, and inspiring quote from the NamesCon keynote stage speakers." It is a promise that they lived up to, so you will definitely benefit from checking it out. Even if you were in Las Vegas you will want to read the report because, with the show's multi-track format, you could not have taken it all in either (especially with all of the meetings you had in the hallways while business sessions were going on)! The conference itself was outstanding but getting this comprehensive recap is the cherry on top of the cake!

One other NamesCon Global 2019 note - the NameJet/RightOfTheDot Extended Online Domain Auction is still going on, but not for long. The bidding ends on Wednesday afternoon (February 13, 2019) U.S. Eastern Time, with lots scheduled to begin closing at 2pm in a final sprint to the finish that should take about two hours to complete.
