NameSummit’s agenda is stacked with new faces

by Andrew Allemann — July 18, 2017 Services 1 Comment

NameSummit goes well beyond domain names.

You’d be forgiven for skipping panels at many domain name conferences. Once you’ve been once, you’ve seen the same panelists and same topics that make their appearance every year.

This changed a bit with NamesCon, but two conferences on the docket for this year go even further. Although they certainly have domain names at their core, they go much further.

First up is NameSummit taking place at the Hilton Midtown Manhattan August 7-8. Although the name is NameSummit, that’s not just referring to domain names. Dubbed “A Digital Branding” conference, the agenda shows that it will help people with digital marketing and social media.

There will panels about SEO, SEM, YouTube, body language, and even blockchain.

You’ll see some familiar domain name faces (it’s being organized by domain attorney Jason Schaeffer, domain investor Steven Kaziyev and event manager Jodi Chamberlain) but the topics go well beyond how to sell domain names.

Tickets are still available for the two-day event for $299. The hotel block is sold out but rooms at the Hilton are available for around $200 (a great deal for NYC).

Later this year another conference that expands beyond domains but is founded by the domain community, Merge, will take place in Florida. More on that in a later post.

Domain Companies Head to Austin for HostingCon

by Andrew Allemann — June 30, 2010 Services 5 Comments

HostingCon comes to the Lone Star State.

The web hosting industry is descending on Austin, Texas next month for HostingCon. The event will take place at the Austin Convention Center July 19-21. Tickets are still available, starting at $489 for the entire three day conference.

I’ve identified a number of domain name related companies that will be in attendance and/or exhibiting:

dotMobi
eNom
OpenSRS (Tucows)
LogicBoxes/Reseller Club
Dark Blue Sea
VeriSign
Afilias

So why would domain companies come to a hosting show? Two main reasons:

1. Most domain name registrars make a good chunk of their revenue from web hosting add-on sales.

2. Web hosts are a good channel for selling domain registrations.

dotMobi will no doubt push for web hosts to offer .mobi domains to their customers and provide mobile web site building applications. VeriSign and Afilias will likely push their security and DNS solutions.

HostingCon is organized by iNET Interactive.

If you’re coming to town for the event, drop me a line.
