NamesCon

I saw that Twitter began enabling users to post polls, so I thought a poll about NamesCon 2016 would be appropriate.

Are you going to NamesCon in January? https://t.co/VXl0upK2jO

As I wrote about this morning, NamesCon is offering conference tickets for $399 until the end of the day tomorrow (October 31). The rate will increase to $599, then to $799, until the final $999 door price. The conference will be held at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas from January 10-13, 2016.

I am wondering if you plan to attend the conference in January. Over 1,000 attendees are expected, and I wouldn’t be surprised if closer to 1,200 people attend. There have been over 500 registrations to date, according to NamesCon founder, Richard Lau.

This is my first Twitter poll, and I invite you to participate. You are also welcome to comment here if you don’t have a Twitter account.

NamesCon founder Richard Lau sent me an email to remind me that the price of NamesCon tickets will be increasing on November 1. The discounted $399 rate is good through tomorrow, at which point I am told the conference ticket cost will increase to $599 (it will later increase to $799 and then it will be $999 at the door).

To date, 520 people have registered to attend NamesCon. This is double the number of registered attendees at this time last year. Richard let me know that organizers are expecting more than 1,000 attendees at the  conference.

The NamesCon  agenda is expected to be finalized by the end of November. I am sure there will be interesting panels and talks, but I am mostly interested in the networking opportunities. Richard told me NamesCon will “have a unique networking exhibition we are setting up for opening day from noon to six pm.” He didn’t tell me what it is but it sounds intriguing.

At last year’s conference,
