Momentum
for Return to In-Person Domain Events Continues to
Build With New Show in London This Summer
|
After
more than two years without major
in-person domain conferences due to the global
pandemic, 2022 continues to bring better news
on that front. We've already seen some real world
regional domain shows this spring, as well
as the global Cloudfest
event in Germany for the hosting industry. The
first NamesCon
Global event with a live audience
since January 2020 is coming up this summer
(starting August 31 in Austin, Texas) and
now we have word of a new meetup coming to London,
England August 23 & 24. The
London
Domain Name Summit (LDNS) will
be held at the award winning Yum Sa
restaurant (rated 5 stars by Trip Advisor who also
ranks them in the top 40 among over 17,000 London
restaurants). In addition to the restaurant, Yum
Sa has indoor and outdoor space to accommodate
business meetings like LDNS, an art gallery and a
private meditation room (that might come in handy
if you need to think especially hard about closing
a business deal)! |
|
The LDNS website
describes the event as an opportunity to connect
in person and share ideas with domain name buyers,
sellers, investors, developers, lawyers,
registrars, hosting providers and more from all
over the UK, Europe around the world. Exhibit
space has also been set aside for a dozen service
providers (information on sponsorship packages is
available on the show's website).
|
The
Presenting Sponsor for the London Domain Summit
2022 will be IT.com,
the domain registration provider that
offers names in a new, third level zone -
making names like build.it.com, buy.it
.com and sell.it.com possible to
own.
Ever since
acquiring the IT.com domain to be the
foundation for their business in 2021 (in
a reported $3.8
million deal), the new IT.com
team has been increasing its presence in the
industry and has become a fixture at key
conferences around the world. |
Registration
for the London Domain Name Summit is already
open through Eventbrite.
In an interesting twist, organizers
are currently providing 10 free tickets
every day in the run up to the show.
If you plan to go it would probably be a
good idea to get them now, as the free
offer could be rescinded when available space
gets closer to venue's limit. |
