Can the ICA Top Themselves at 2025 Annual Meeting in January? With Dates Now Set We'll Know Soon

The Internet Commerce Association (ICA) has set the dates for their 2025 Annual Member Meeting in Las Vegas. It will be happening January 26-28 and will most likely return to Resorts World on the Strip where the very well received 2024 meeting was held. Final details on the venue are being nailed down now and are expected to be finalized within the next few days. As soon as that happens, tickets will go on sale. 

The annual meeting staged by the non-profit organization that fights to protect domain owner's rights has become a can't miss event.  The ICA has created a unique experience by focusing on social activity designed to create and strengthen relationships and taking a different approach to business sessions.

The latter are typically presented in one of two ways. In one, rather than have an expert interviewed on stage followed by a few minutes (at most) to ask questions at the end, the queries take precedence in a casual Ask Me

Anything (AMA) oriented format. Those questions often result in two-way traffic with the expert asking the audience member what their opinion is. ICA attendees are almost all industry professionals who have valuable knowledge and experience of their own to share.

The other format you can expect to see are expert roundtables that allow attendees to move from one table to another as their interests dictate, with each table devoted to a different service or topic. Again, you are encouraged to ask questions. The idea is to make sure attendees are able glean the information they want to get directly from leaders in the field.

The January meeting will open with an optional social event Sunday evening, January 26. The first "business" day, Monday, January 27, will actually be devoted primarily to social activity, with a variety of events to choose from.

This will give you a general idea of what the ICA and its members are all about. We hope you will join in Las Vegas in January. If you are not already and ICA member this would be a great time to join!
