ICA Meeting Keeps Getting Better

I went to the ICA meeting in Las Vegas last week. I don’t particularly enjoy leaving my family when they have many different activities and events at happening home, but the trip was well worth that inconvenience.

At around 200 attendees, the ICA event is fairly small and manageable. I was able to connect with many friends and colleagues from around the world who I don’t see or talk to on a regular basis. I attended a few of the keynotes, AMAs, as well as the memorial for Howard Neu and the ICA award presentations. I thought they were all well done and offered a good chance to ask questions and chat with some of the leaders from companies that work closely with domain investors.

It was a very good opportunity to get a pulse of the domain investment space from all areas of the investment community.

In addition to the panels and talks, I thought the ICA did a good job of curating many different activities on Monday from which attendees could choose one. I opted out of those, but I heard a few of them were particularly fun. Having several smaller group experiences for attendees was a good idea.

While I don’t particularly have much love for Las Vegas, I think the location and venue are excellent. Resorts World has numerous spots for meetings of all sizes. I had many more informal chats than actual meetings, and it was nice to be able to see longtime colleagues in passing and be able to have extended conversations in public and private settings. There are a few people I planned to meet with and didn’t get the chance, but hopefully we can connect in the coming days.

The ICA meeting keeps getting better each year, and I am glad I opted to stay for the full three days. It’s a nice way to kickstart the year.
