We
selected a few photos form those to give you an
early inside look at some of the activity at DDD. We
will soon be getting professional photos from the
event and will be putting together a comprehensive
review of Domain Days Dubai 2024 that we expect to
publish early next week.

Since the closing day two at Domain Days Dubai just
concluded, few photos have been posted online about
the Wednesday activities yet, but Sandy Carter,
the COO at Unstoppable Domains, did put up
this shot from the first major online domain
auction staged in the Middle East. DDD teamed up
with Monte Cahn's RightOfTheDot.com
to conduct the sale. The auction will actually be
continuing for another week so you may still
find something you like in the listings.
While
Domain Days Dubai was about business, there was also
plenty of fun thrown into the mix. These
gentlemen were obviously enjoying themselves! Left
to right are Ryan McKgeney (DomainAgents.com),
Alpesh Shinde (GoDaddy) Leo Golan, Deepak
Daftari, Nikul Sanghvi and another
friend. (Photo Credit: GoDaddy). Much
more to come on Domain Days Dubai 2024. Keep an eye
out for our full conference review early next week.
