NamesCon Global 2020 is in the books. I had been wanting to visit Austin for quite some time, and the NamesCon conference was the perfect reason to make the trip. Beyond the conference, I thought Austin was an interesting city with great food.
It was easy and pretty cheap for me to fly to Austin non-stop from Boston, and although I stayed in the Omni Hotel, there were quite a few other options for different budgets. In speaking with other attendees,
Monte Cahn (Right of the Dot) emailed me with the NamesCon live auction list, including the domain names, auction order, and reserve price ranges. This list is shared below, although you should confirm details with Right of the Dot, GoDaddy Auctions, or Proxibid to ensure accuracy before participating in the auction as it might be subject to change.
The live auction will be held in the main conference hall on Thursday, January 30th at 4pm Central Time. Bidding in the live auction can also be done via Proxibid. Registration for Proxibid is required, and I believe floor bidders will also need to register for a paddle before the auction.
Here are the domain names in the live auction along with their reserve prices:
NamesCon Global begins this week in Austin, Texas. Domain investors are traveling from near and far to attend the largest domain investor conference of the year.

While domain investors and domain industry companies are coming together to do business at NamesCon in Austin this coming week, I want to highlight two fundraising efforts that will be happening during the conference. NamesCon organizers are helping to raise funds for a school in Guatemala, and proceeds from two domain names in the auction will be donated to the Internet Commerce Association (ICA).
Here are the details about these two fundraising efforts:
I received an event invitation from Radix, and I was given permission to share it publicly with readers. Radix is hosting an event dubbed “Cheers & Beers” during next week’s NamesCon conference in Austin. The free (and public) event will be hosted by Radix in the company’s booth on the NamesCon conference floor. The event will be held from 3:30 – 4:30 pm on Thursday, January 30th at booth #5.
Because the event is being held on the conference floor, it is only open to NamesCon attendees (who are 21+ years old). If you have any questions for Radix or have questions about the company’s extensions, this is probably the best time to ask.
NamesCon will be hosting its annual Women in Domaining event at the NamesCon Global conference one week from today, (Friday) January 31, 2020, from 6 – 8pm. The annual event was announced in a tweet from conference organizers:
