A slight change in dates, location for domain name conference.
NamesCon has pushed back the start date for its event in Austin this coming January by three days, and made a slight change to the location.
The event will now run January 29-February 1, 2020. It was originally scheduled for January 26-29.
Additionally, it will shift from The Capital Factory to the Omni Hotel, which are both located in the same building. The building is half office space, half hotel.
While organizers may still hold some events at Capital Factory, it is focusing the event around the Omni.
Changing the dates will allow the show to have a special event on Saturday at the conclusion of the conference.
Show organizers have arranged discounted hotel rooms at the Omni starting at $229, at least $100 less than I can find online at the hotel on those same dates.
Early bird registration end on August 4. Tickets and hotel information is on the NamesCon website.
$350 early bird tiks, $230 a night rooms, tsk tsk, NamesCon will never be the same. 🙁
That’s a pretty good deal to attend a conference.
Why in the world would NamesCon move the dates now?
Do they know the SuperBowl is the day after the Show ends?
They had 4 years to schedule NC in Vegas on SuperBowl weekend but now they choose to have it on SuperBowl weekend, but in Austin Tx?
Who is going to want to travel on SuperBowl Sunday? Also that means the last day whatever big events are scheduled will be a ghost town.
They are treating this, what should be the worldwide renowned domain conference as a friggen circus act.
