NamesConI want to pass along some NamesCon news to you this morning. Braden Pollock will be the moderator for several NamesCon panels next month in Las Vegas. Braden knows this business better than most, and I have heard that he has done a great job of panel moderation at other industry events.

According to Braden, “NamesCon is really shaping up to be a great conference. I feel honored to have been asked to moderate at the show. I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone in Vegas next month.”

The panels will cover a

I thought I would pass along this special “Black Friday” offer from Rick Schwartz that was sent to people on the TRAFFIC mailing list this afternoon:

“Sign up for T.R.A.F.F.I.C. this Friday, Black Friday, and not only does it include 2 or 3 nights at the Bellagio, T.R.A.F.F.I.C. will pick you up at the airport with our Executive Car Service at no extra cost and whisk you right to the hotel’s front door. Just buy your tickets this Friday. One day only. Black Friday! “

Are You Going to NamesCon?

NamesCon is coming up in January, and I am still on the fence about going. I think it’s going to be well attended by a wide range of domain investors, and I think the price is exceptional. The only reason I am on the fence is due to a few other trips that are planned for the first three months of 2014 (and not wanting to leave my wife alone with our 20 month old toddler and dog).

Are you planning on attending NamesCon? Vote in the poll below. If you are not planning on attending, I am interested to know what’s keeping you from attending?

If you’d like more information about NamesCon, Richard Lau wrote an article sharing some reasons why he thinks you should consider attending.

NamesConHaven’t domain conferences come and gone? With no sign of DomainFest aka WebFest, and with numerous other domain conference brands having been moth-balled, why would a veteran of the internet name space want to risk so much of his own capital to launch a brand new show? Wouldn’t you have to be crazy to enter this space?

To answer that question, I hope you will indulge me for a few paragraphs. My name is Richard Lau and I am that person….

I’m proud to announce NamesCon Las Vegas 2014 will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada on

Make Your TRAFFIC Appointments Now

I’ve generally been under the assumption that most people who attend a domain conference like TRAFFIC basically wing it when it comes to meetings. Most of my meetings with friends and colleagues are unplanned, and they generally take place randomly during the conference.

In the last week or so, I’ve received a number of emails from colleagues asking to make meeting appointments with them. It’s a good idea to set up meeting times, since I almost always go home realizing that I didn’t get a chance to speak with someone I wanted to see, and had I made an appointment, it would have been more difficult to miss.

If there’s someone you want to meet at TRAFFIC in Ft Lauderdale, don’t

According to a tweet this morning from its Twitter account, the Domainer Tradeshow that was scheduled for October 2-3 at the Mission Point Resort in Mackinac Island, Michigan has been canceled. Apparently, this is due to a lack of reservations and registrations. I have confirmed this with the event organizer, Doug Haan, who issued the following statement:
