Domain Summit Asia 2025 Coming in November

Fresh off a successful Domain Summit conference in London earlier this month, conference organizers announced a new event coming to Hong Kong later on this year. Domain Summit Asia 2025 will be held November 17-18 in Hong Kong. The event will be co-hosted by Jack Dai of DN.com.

Unlike many domain investment conferences, this event is invite-only. People who are interested in attending will need to register for the event and have their registration approved by conference organizers. Registering interest in attending can be done via Luma.com.

Are You Attending Upcoming Domain Investor Events This Year?

There are quite a few domain investor-focused events and conferences coming up in the last half of 2025. These events are being held around the world, and importantly, they are being run by different people and organizations. This should help make them each unique.

The events I have heard about, including the dates and locations are as follows:

NamesCon Global 2025 to be Held in Miami

The 2025 NamesCon Global conference will be held in Miami, Florida next year, according to an announcement from Soeren von Varchim. In addition to the location change, the conference will also be held later on in the year and will take place from November 5-6, 2025. I believe NamesCon is still the largest annual domain industry conference.

The conference will be held at the Ice Palace, an event space in Miami. I am not super familiar with Miami, so I can’t offer much insight on good hotel options in the vicinity of the conference venue.

According to the NamesCon website, a Standard Pass costs $299 for early registrants. This price remains in effect until March 28, 2025. The introductory Vendor Pass is $599. It, too, will increase on March 28th.

The conference will be held as industry companies are in the planning stages for the next round of gTLD applications. I expect that to be a big theme throughout the conference, particularly as it relates to larger industry companies.

The conference agenda will be posted at some point next year. For now, domain investors can add the event to their 2025 calendar.

D3 to Host Invite-Only Dominion Conference

D3 is a relatively new entrant to the domain space, but it has a team with considerable domain industry expertise. In announcing its $5 million seed funding round this past September, the company announced its intent “to revolutionize the real-world asset class of domain names on the Internet’s root layer.”

D3 will be hosting an invite-only Dominion conference at the end of the month. Dominion 2024 will be held at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas April 29-30. Here’s the purpose of the conference:

Registration is Open for NamesCon Global 2024

NamesCon Global emailed past attendees this afternoon to announce that registration is now open for next year’s conference. NamesCon Global will be held June 5-8, 2024 at the Omni Austin Hotel Downtown in Austin, Texas. Tickets can be purchased via EventBrite.

NamesCon is currently offering a “Super Early Bird Special” for those who purchase a conference pass now. The Standard pass costs $349 and the Channel Pass costs $549. The email says that this will be the biggest discount on tickets. In general, though, if you’re not certain you can attend right now, there are usually special deals offered by conference organizers leading up to the conference.

Video: Domainer Expo in Las Vegas

Monte Cahn emailed me today about the inaugural Domainer Expo. I understand it is an event that is scheduled to be held in Las Vegas from December 6-7th at the Westgate Resort and Casino. Aside from an email a month ago from one of the event’s organizers, I had not heard about this event until receiving Monte’s email (I don’t believe Monte is involved with organizing the event).

From the looks of it, conference organizers are expecting a large turnout. Quite a few domain industry participants are lined up as speakers. The cost to attend the event is $497 for standard passes or $697 for VIP passes.

The event organizers put together a video explaining what attendees can expect to see at the conference:
