for NDD 2024.
LG
noted, "Something unique about this
iteration of Nordic Domain Days was the
composition of the audience. With ICANN
CPS in Paris the week before, a
larger portion of our crowd came from North
America and the Asia Pacific region, as
they were already in Europe.
The
NDD team is always happy to see new people at the
conference, and with yet another growth spurt at
roughly 20% over last year, we are in or
around the sweet spot of our desired size."

conference attendees produces
the same results - the main reason people
go to conferences is to take advantage of the
networking opportunities. Proving them was job #1
for the NDD 2024 team.
LG
confirmed that, noting, "It
has always been the team's intention to maintain a
specific size for the event, not exceeding 400
attendees. This deliberate choice allows us to
prioritize the quality of our venues and the
intimacy of our space, ensuring that each attendee
feels valued and can engage in meaningful
conversations. The idea behind Nordic Domain
Days has always been to be a place for Excellent
Networking and good conversations.

While
the emphasis on networking that did not come at the
expense of an exceptional business agenda
that was jam-packed with informative and invaluable
presentations and panel discussions. LG noted,
"Our main
stage agenda is an integral part of NDD
and we will always provide it to facilitate
conversations before and after each session."
The
dozens of business sessions at NDD 2024 gave
attendees plenty to think and talk about, including
(above) a presentation from Radix's Varun Punjab who
provided "A Deep Dive into an E-commerce
Seller's Journey & E-commerce Domains".

with Domain Crawler's Rickard Vikstrom to
talk about Domain Mastery: Navigating Success
in Traffic Domain Investing.
LG
added, "This
year, there was also a focus on collaboration
in tackling DNS Abuse and Registrant Data
Validation. The EU directive NIS2 was
heavily featured, as was e-identification. On
the other hand, NDD 2024 held our first-ever
Aftermarket session, which was very well
received. I can already disclose that NDD 2025
will feature even more on this particular
subject," LG added.

In
conclusion he noted LG Forsberg added, "The
NDD team and I are very happy with how the
event turned out, and we can't stress enough that
to make this event happen, we rely on our many partner's
support and the attendance of our awesome
industry!"
