With his vast experience and invaluable insight into top tier sales, Andrew has long been a sought after speaker, so no surprise he was one of the first industry professionals NamesCon Global invited to host a keynote session at the 2022 show coming up August 31 through September 3 in Austin, Texas. That session, titled The Secret to Premium Domain Deals, will hit the Bodis Keynote Hall stage at 10:05am on Thursday, Sept. 1, If you will be at the Omni Hotel for the conference, this is one you won't want to miss. 

As busy as he is, Andrew told me he has spent a lot of time thinking about that keynote and what he can share that will be most meaningful for domain investors, buyers and sellers who focus on  premium domain assets. One thing he plans to do is dispel a lot of common myths. and in doing so, hopefully invoke some change in either thought process or practices to create a better value for this amazing asset class. Miller noted, "to the right buyer a domain is game changing for their enterprise value, magical as I like to say."  

While great domains do indeed have a magical quality, Andrew delivers his advice in a straight forward manner. After you hear him speak it's unlikely you will go away still wondering what goes on behind the curtain. Andrew says most think there has to be a "secret sauce" of some kind involved in getting premium domain sales done but he will explain why the key ingredient boils down to something more accessible to all - tried and true common sense. By the way, Andrew will also be moderating the Blue Chip NFT Panel later Thursday morning (Sept. 1) with that session (also in the Keynote Hall) scheduled to get underway at 11:35am. 

While we're talking about NamesCon Global, there are some related big events to tell you about.
