NamesCon 2017 is less than a week away! I bought my conference ticket many months ago and I booked my travel plans a couple of months ago. I will be arriving Saturday and headed out on a redeye on Tuesday night. There has always been a great turnout at NamesCon, and I understand a record setting attendance is expected this year.
Are you attending the conference? What are you most looking forward to during the conference?
NamesCon 2017 is just over one week away and we are busy getting ready for our largest — and best — conference to date! Our attendees are already making great connections through our new mobile app and organizing their schedules to maximize their time at NamesCon. Tickets are still available to purchase — don’t miss out on the chance to attend the biggest domain name industry event in the world. People from all parts of the domain community are set to converge on the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas from January 22-25, 2017.
We want to help you make the most of your conference, which is why we are running this interviews series introducing you to NamesCon Sponsors and the people behind the big names. Today’s Spotlight interview is with Mason Cole, VP of Communications & Industry Relations at Donuts Inc.
What is your company’s mandate; what sets you apart?
Donuts’ mandate corresponds to that of ICANN when it introduced the new TLD program: expand consumer choice and competition in the domain name space. We did so with more than 300 applications for a wide variety of common and useful dictionary terms — we now operate almost 200 unique extensions. Donuts is set apart by its strength and leadership — we’re a team of highly experienced domain industry professionals and lead the market in the number and variety of new TLDs.

NamesCon 2017 is just over a week away! 1,400+ attendees are expected at this year’s conference. If you haven’t booked your trip, now is the time to do it! NamesCon will be held January 22-25 at the Tropicana in Las Vegas, Nevada.
We are running a series of interviews with NamesCon sponsors. Today’s interview is with Darren Cornwell from our Diamond level sponsor, Uniregistry.
What is your company’s mandate, what sets you apart?
Transparency, honesty and a real love of what we do. We like to take things which are traditionally considered complex (bulk registrations, the ability to sell a name onto an interested party, transferring domains to name but a few) and make it intuitive. If your instinct is to tap or click to perform some action we want to ensure that’s something you can actually do. Software shouldn’t be complicated but it often is and needlessly so.
As the great Paul Rand said:
“Design is simple. That’s why it’s so complicated”
We find that echoes in everything we do, the pursuit of the small, the imperceptible, the experiences that give you that ‘wow’ moment. It can be a real challenge.
