Aftermarket.com Would Like to Meet at NamesCon

One of the best ways a company can improve its offerings is to meet with clients and potential clients. The domain investment space is unique in that the number of people who are active is relatively small, and it’s a fairly tight knit community compared to other types of asset classes.

When it comes to domain name marketplaces, there are two companies that are ahead of the pack in terms of sales and listings – Afternic and Sedo. Aftermarket.com is most likely the third largest private domain resale marketplace in terms of domain name listings (an unverified assumption).

I received an email last night from Aftermarket.com that I want to share with you. I think it’s a great idea for them to reach out to clients in this manner, and I wish other companies did the same. I receive these types of emails from other companies, but I think

Why I Am Going to NamesCon

I’ve been unsure about whether or not I would be able to make it to NamesCon. My wife and I have quite a bit of travel planned, and I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get away to Las Vegas in January.

After meeting up with Braden Pollock and Steve Kaziyev (and their significant others) in New York City last month, my wife was convinced that I should go, and she convinced me that she would be fine at home with our toddler (now 20 months old) and our dog. Because of the travel we have planned, she can’t get away from work this time to go to Las Vegas, but she’ll be with me in June for Traffic. I don’t love traveling without her, but she knows

Braden Pollock to Moderate NamesCon Panels

NamesConI want to pass along some NamesCon news to you this morning. Braden Pollock will be the moderator for several NamesCon panels next month in Las Vegas. Braden knows this business better than most, and I have heard that he has done a great job of panel moderation at other industry events.

According to Braden, “NamesCon is really shaping up to be a great conference. I feel honored to have been asked to moderate at the show. I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone in Vegas next month.”

The panels will cover a

Are You Going to NamesCon?

NamesCon is coming up in January, and I am still on the fence about going. I think it’s going to be well attended by a wide range of domain investors, and I think the price is exceptional. The only reason I am on the fence is due to a few other trips that are planned for the first three months of 2014 (and not wanting to leave my wife alone with our 20 month old toddler and dog).

Are you planning on attending NamesCon? Vote in the poll below. If you are not planning on attending, I am interested to know what’s keeping you from attending?

If you’d like more information about NamesCon, Richard Lau wrote an article sharing some reasons why he thinks you should consider attending.


Why NamesCon?

NamesConHaven’t domain conferences come and gone? With no sign of DomainFest aka WebFest, and with numerous other domain conference brands having been moth-balled, why would a veteran of the internet name space want to risk so much of his own capital to launch a brand new show? Wouldn’t you have to be crazy to enter this space?

To answer that question, I hope you will indulge me for a few paragraphs. My name is Richard Lau and I am that person….

I’m proud to announce NamesCon Las Vegas 2014 will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada on
