Welcome to the The

With
Over 120 Speakers and 100+
Sessions the Upcoming Edition of NamesCon Online
is a
BIG Deal With a Small Price Tag
|
|
Due
to the global pandemic
the domain industry has
not been able to come together in
person at a major conference
since the NamesCon
Global event in Austin,
Texas in January 2020.
Though Covid-19 is still
preventing us from getting
together face to face in
significant numbers, we are
fortunate that NamesCon has
managed to create and produce an online
version of the big
show that has proven to be the
best possible solution to
current conference hurdles.
They
did it for the first time in
September
2020, then repeated
that success with another widely
praised event in January
2021. Now are set to
do it yet again when the 3rd
edition of NamesCon
Online runs Wednesday
through Friday, September
22-24, 2021.

The
scale of what will be going on over those three days is beyond the scope of
a single article like this, so let me sum it up this way. NamesCon Online
will bring together more than 1,500 registrants from over 60
countries around the world. They will hear from more than 120 expert
speakers who will appear in over 100 sessions that will be spread
across four stages, as well as a separate daily MasterClass
being provided by ParkLogic.com Founder Michael Gilmour. You
can see the
entire agenda here. You can also see who the individual
speakers will be on the Home Page at NamesCon.online.
The
remarkable thing about this is that the cost for all of that value comes to
a grand total of $99 for the three-day
event pass that you can get here.

Soeren
Von Varchmin |
It all gets started at 11am
US Eastern Time on Wednesday, September 22 when moderator Soeren
Von Varchmin, the Chairman of the NamesCon Advisory Board, will
welcome everyone to the party. The first business sessions will begin
a few minutes later on Stages 1 and 2, followed by a
beehive of activity on the Handshake Stage and more coming from
the Europe Stage that opens on Thursday. As we have previously
reported, there will also be three
separate domain auctions during the conference.
As always, I will be
covering the conference from start to finish with daily photos and
highlights in this column. I will also be hosting two
sessions on the closing day, Friday (September 24)
including a Fireside Chat with the Michael Castello and David
Castello that kicks that day off and a panel discussion about
improving perception of the domain industry that will be the
conference's final session on Stage 1. I look forward to seeing all of
you (virtually) there! |
