It's
almost here! The 2024 edition of NamesCon
Global, the domain industry's biggest
event for investors, developers and service
providers will get underway Wednesday, June 5
at the Downtown Omni Hotel in Austin,
Texas, the historic capital of the Lone Star
State. It will continue there through Saturday,
June 8 when the shows closes with its
traditional Fun Day. You
may recall that last
year, for the first time, NamesCon
Global ran concurrently in the same Austin venue
with Cloudfest
USA, America's premier event for the Internet
infrastructure industry. That will be the case
again this year and anyone who buys a ticket to
one of the events can also attend any sessions
they wish in the other. That productive pairing
was possible because WHD Events GmbH owns
both events (they also produce the world's biggest
infrastructure conference, the main Cloudfest
conference that attracts thousands of attendees to
Rust, Germany in March of every year). I've
always looked forward to NamesCon Global but never
more so than this year because, on opening
day, I will have three separate face to face
fireside chats onstage in the Keynote Hall
with groundbreaking domain brokerage and
consulting legends Andrew Miller (Managing
Director, Hilco Digital Assets), Jen Sale
(CEO, Evergreen.com) and Andrew Rosener
(CEO, MediaOptions.com). If you're going to
NamesCon and hear these three
speak, you're going to go home with a vastly
better understanding of what it takes to
succeed in this business and life beyond it (a
topic that Jen has some especially illuminating
advice about). Our
sessions are set to run at these times on Wednesday,
June 5: 10:25am
