Domain
Days Dubai (DDD) made a great
first impression when conference
founder Munir Badr and his team launched
the event in November 2023. So much so that
sponsorships and demand for tickets for the second
edition of the event, coming up Wednesday and
Thursday, November 5 & 6, 2024 at the Marriott
Resort Palm Jumeirah, exploded.
Though seating was expanded, tickets still sold
out over a week ago and sponsorship
participation has doubled. Munir said more
than 40 sponsors are backing the show
this year. The list we saw included it.com Domains,
AEserver, Sedo, RightOfTheDot™, .One Registry, Above.com,
InterNetX, Atom, Unstoppable Domains, the ICA, Radix
(.store), DN.com and ICANN to name just a few. It
is also interesting to note that attendees and
sponsors are coming from all over the world
even though Domain Days Dubai was created to focus
primarily on Domain Investors, Registrars, Registries, Monetization & Traffic, Web 3 Domains, Hosting & Cloud Providers, SaaS, and Industry
Enthusiasts in the Middle East & Africa (MEA) region.
The fact that so many want to interact with
participants in that region is a testament to the tremendous
opportunities for growth there. Another
unmistakable sign that everyone is getting on
board for Domain Days Dubai is a new partnership
the show has with RightOfTheDot.com
(ROTD) to present the first-ever major domain
and digital asset auction in the Middle East.
The auction will be entirely online and timed,
making proxy bidding essential for those in
different time zones. The auction will start with
a curated selection of premium domain names and
Web3 assets that will end on the closing day of
the conference, November 6. Bidding
is open now with lots closing on the
6th from 12:15–1:15PM Dubai Time
(3:15–4:15AM U.S. EST, 12:15–1:15AM U.S. PST).
Additional names will close the over the following
the week. ROTD's
Scott Pruitt told us, "We’re featuring
some premium .AE domains and other Middle
Eastern-themed names in this auction, making it
truly unique. You can register for the
auction and start bidding here,
and download the catalog here." |
