The 11th annual NamesCon Europe conference, coming up June 20-22, 2019 in an attractive new location, the Pestana Cidadela Cascais resort –a 5-star hotel located in the Pousada & Art District in the city of Cascais (just north of Lisbon), has released the first draft of the show agenda. It includes five expert panel discussions that will cover these topics:

* Dark Horses and Long-Shot Opportunities: Where to Invest in Today’s nTLD Market

* On the Basis of Trust: What to Look For in a Domain Broker

* Does Silicon Valley Still Need Domains?: How to Approach Tomorrow’s Startups 

* No Exit: How to Maximize your Portfolio’s Value Without Selling

* Navigating Appraised Value vs. Market Value of Your Domain

The full list of speakers for each session is still being finalized but Braden Pollock is already penciled in for most of the moderating duty that he consistently excels at. Organizers have also made sure to set aside plenty of time for networking, socializing, and enjoying the beauty Cascais is famous for. In fact, the last day of the conference will be dedicated entirely to unwinding with friends and colleagues at a day long beach party.

For the first time, NamesCon Europe will also feature a live domain auction, with carefully selected premium names set to go on the block while guests enjoy premium wine and tapas to match. As they did at NamesCon Global in Las Vegas in January, NamesCon has teamed up with industry-leading domain auction experts RightOfTheDot and NameJet to run the sale.

NamesCon Europe was founded by Dietmar Stefitz (under the Domaining Europe banner) who, after a decade of producing outstanding events, truned the reins over to NamesCon early last year. Tickets for the three-day event are priced at €649, however NamesCon Europe has given us a discount link allowing our readers to purchase tickets for €399 (+ €75.81 VAT) until June 1, 2019.
