NamesCon Ticket Prices Increase Tomorrow

1

Initially, I did not plan to attend NamesCon in November. We have quite a few family things going on in November, and it’s an inconvenience to ensure our kids get where they need to be – and I hate missing their events. After some further thought, I decided I will most likely attend for at least a day.

I received an email this morning reminding me that the price for a NamesCon ticket will increase tomorrow. The standard pass is listed at $499 and apparently increases to $649 tomorrow. The vendor pass increases from $799 to $999.

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.

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.

One of the largest domain name sales in history was Fairway’s acquisition of Home.com. The deal was brokered by Andrew Miller (Hilco Digital Assets) and Larry Fischer (GetYourDomain.com), but terms of the deal were kept private.

At NamesCon a couple of weeks ago, Andrew, Larry, and Fairway’s David Lazowski had a conversation about the Home.com acquisition. The keynote discussion is embedded below:

The 2023 edition of NamesCon Global is coming up in just over a month from now. The annual domain industry conference is being held at the Omni Hotel Downtown in Austin, Texas from May 31 – June 3.

I received an email from conference organizers this morning announcing the entire conference agenda has been released and published online. For those of you debating whether or not to attend based on the conference content can now see the panels and speakers who are scheduled to participate.

NamesCon announced that registration for its 2023 NamesCon Global event is now open with a discounted early bird rate. The “Super Early Bird Special” ticket price is $349 or $549 for a Channel Pass. This is 65% off the regular price, according to the email I received. Tickets can be purchased via EventBrite, and the announced prices do not include ticket fees.

NamesCon 2023 will take place from May 31–June 3 at the Omni Austin Hotel Downtown in Austin, Texas. NamesCon has become the de facto domain industry annual conference.

Conference organizers will be sending a hotel discount code for conference attendees to save on hotel rooms during the event.
