Digital
Creators and Investors Will Be Connecting in
Iceland at the First Digital Asset Congress in
September |
While
domain names were the original digital
asset, several others have earned a sizeable
following in recent years. Creators who utilize
both new and long established digital platforms,
along with those who invest in them, will have an all encompassing
new conference of their own to
attend in September. That is the first Digital
Asset Congress (DAC) that will run Sept.
23-25, 2024 at the Hilton Nordic Hotel
in Reykjavik, Iceland.
The event will connect creative minds with seasoned investors and business leaders,
while providing a broad overview of how to transform creative ventures into lucrative digital
assets. The goal is to help attendees capitalize on
the many opportunities within digital content, domain
names and web infrastructures. |

Jason
Nickerson
Digital Asset Congress Founder |
The
DAC is the brainchild of digital industry
veteran Jason
Nickerson, who has played key
roles in establishing and promoting some of
the top conferences in multiple digital
fields over the years. We first met Jason
when he helped Jothan Frakes and
Ray Neu put together the MERGE! domain
conferences in Orlando in 2017 and 2018 and
we've crossed paths many times since then,
including at last
month's NamesCon Global conference
in Austin (actually we crossed paths before
we even got to NamesCon while boarding the
same flight from Tampa (where we both live)
to Texas.
As
a master of juggling multiple tasks at the
same time, Jason is putting DAC together
while already serving as the Chief
Marketing Officer for the Domain
Days Dubai conference and as the
Business Development and Partnerships
Manager for JetsApps.
If
you look at some of the speakers already
lined up for the inaugural edition of DAC
you will see some very familiar names from
the domain business, including Braden
Pollock (Pollock |
Fund),
Mark Ghoriafi (Sedo), Arjun
Pande (Radix), Kevin Kopas
(ShortDot) and Monte Cahn (RightOfTheDot)
to name just a few. Of course, with Monte
and the RightOfTheDot
crew there you might think a live domain
and digital assets auction will be part
of the show - and you would be right! |
Jason
said the the heart of the Digital Asset Congress
will be a Networking Creator Lab where
creativity and commerce will intersect, fostering a
lively exchange of ideas and inspiration - all in
one of the most beautiful locations on earth. The
natural beauty wasn't the only reason he chose
Reykjavik though. Reykjavik is strategically positioned between North America and
Europe, making it a a central hub that
facilitates easy and cost-effective travel for attendees from both continents.
Jason noted, "This geographically advantageous location not only underscores the
global significance of the congress but also ensures broader
participation while keeping a mindful eye on keeping our carbon footprint lower." You
can learn more about the event at its official
website and Early
Bird tickets (at more than 50% off) are
available now. If you plan to be part of the first
Digital Asset Congress you will want to
take advantage of that deal soon as prices go up
after July 25.
