With NamesCon coming up in less than a month, we are running a series of Sponsor Spotlight articles to familiarize people with the companies whose support helps make NamesCon happen each year. Today’s Sponsor Spotlight interview is with Jonathan Zhang, CEO of Whois API, Inc. (Whois XML API).
NamesCon will be held at the Tropicana in Las Vegas January 22-25, 2017. We are expecting over 1,400 attendees at this year’s conference!
Thank you to Jonathan for sharing information about his company:
NamesCon is about a month away, and I understand that conference organizers are expecting “well over 1,400 attendees” at this year’s conference. I think NamesCon is well worth attending, and I bought my ticket several months ago. I will be landing in Las Vegas on Saturday night, and I leave on a Tuesday night redeye back to Boston.
I thought I would share 5 conference tips with readers. Some of these suggestions can be acted on right now, and perhaps it will provide a tax benefit or cost savings. I encourage you to share any advice you have in the comment section. If I think of anything else, I will share it there.
Hotel – If you are looking for convenience, staying at the Tropicana is the way to go. The rooms are more than adequate, and you’ll be very close to meetings and events. If you’re looking for something a bit more luxurious, the Cosmopolitan, Aria, Vdara, and MGM all are good options. If you’re looking for something more economical, I think the Luxor and Hard Rock may be less expensive. There is some bridge construction ongoing, so keep in mind it might be a bit more of a pain to walk to different hotels. If you book your hotel now, you may be able to pay for it in 2016 rather than in the new year.
Agenda / Panels – I have never been one to

I reached out to NamesCon founder Richard Lau, and he let me know they are expecting
NamesCon is thrilled to lend our support to Elliot in his Pan-Mass Challenge Ride, fundraising for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. He’s raised 80% of his goal amount of $10,000, and we’d like to encourage our domaining community to get involved and help raise that final $2,000! So we’re willing to go a step further beyond our initial donation with this challenge:
For each Advance Savings Ticket ($599) purchased between now and July 30th, NamesCon will donate $300 directly to Elliot’s fundraising efforts – and we’ll even include your name in the supporting message!
From clean water initiatives in developing countries to transitional housing for US veterans, NamesCon believes that it’s important to focus on giving back and supporting worthy charitable initiatives.
