New
Wrinkle at NamesCon: Network Lane Will Bring
Attendees & Experts Together on Opening Day
|
The
3rd annual NamesCon
conference
gets underway a a week from
Sunday (January 10, 2016) at the
Tropicana Hotel in Las
Vegas. Show organizers will
introduce a new Network Lane
on opening day that will give
attendees an opportunity to meet a
wide variety of industry experts
face to face and ask them any
questions they may have.
Network
Lane will open at 12 Noon on
Sunday (Jan. 10) and remain open
until 6pm. Attendees will find four
different tables set up in the
meeting room with a different topic
and different set of experts at each
one. Every hour on the hour,
a new group of experts will take
over the tables and hold court on a
new set of topics. It will be a golden
opportunity to get a diverse
domain education in the course of a
single afternoon. I wouldn't be surprised
if many find the value they get from
the Network Lane portion of the
four-day show alone worth the entire
cost of NamesCon admission (which,
by the way, if 40%
off through Thursday,
Dec. 31 - That's $599 rather
than the $999 it will cost at the
door).

To
give you a specific example
of how Network Lane will
work, in the opening hour,
from 12 Noon to 1pm, there
will be tables dedicated to ccTLDs
(Table A), Maxxing Out
the Drop (Table B), Leasing
a Domain (Table C) and GeoDomains/City
TLDs (Table D). You can
get tips at Table A from Marco
Hoffman (InterNetX) and Crystal
Petersen (Neustar) while
Chris Ambler (GoDaddy),
Trish Leighton (SnapNames/Web.com)
and Barbara Sher (Web.com/SnapNames)
will be at Table B. Table C
will feature attorneys Karen
Bernstein and Zak
Muscovitch and you will
find Joe Alagna
(101Domain), Katrin
Ohlmer (dotBerlin) and Lori
Anne Wardi (Neustar) at
Table D. Then, every
hour that follows will bring
a new set of experts and new
topics to each table. You
can see the complete list
of topics and experts (as
well as details about each)

Lau
NamesCon Co-Founder |
the
NamesCon agenda
page (where you
will also find that a lot
more will be going on in
addition to Network Lane
during the first business
day Sunday).
There
will obviously be plenty to
keep you busy on opening day
but you will also have
plenty of time to kick
back and relax when Rightside
hosts the Welcome to
NamesCon 2016 Opening Night
Party from 8-11pm.
I'll
have more on each day's
schedule in upcoming posts
this week. In the meantime I
would also recommend you
read NamesCon Co-Founder
Richard Lau's fascinating
account of how
and why NamesCon was
launched in the first place.
The section about NamesCon
concludes our current Cover
Story about Richard's
remarkable life titled A
Walking Miracle: After
Getting a Second Chance at
Life Richard Lau is
Determined to Give Back.
It's a great way to learn
about NamesCon and Richard's
inspiring background before
you head out to Las Vegas.
We are looking forward to
seeing many of you there! |
