The 2025 NamesCon Global conference will be held in Miami, Florida next year, according to an announcement from Soeren von Varchim. In addition to the location change, the conference will also be held later on in the year and will take place from November 5-6, 2025. I believe NamesCon is still the largest annual domain industry conference.
The conference will be held at the Ice Palace, an event space in Miami. I am not super familiar with Miami, so I can’t offer much insight on good hotel options in the vicinity of the conference venue.
According to the NamesCon website, a Standard Pass costs $299 for early registrants. This price remains in effect until March 28, 2025. The introductory Vendor Pass is $599. It, too, will increase on March 28th.
The conference will be held as industry companies are in the planning stages for the next round of gTLD applications. I expect that to be a big theme throughout the conference, particularly as it relates to larger industry companies.
The conference agenda will be posted at some point next year. For now, domain investors can add the event to their 2025 calendar.
Of course Florida, The Republican turned state. All the Republican domainers will go and pat each other on the back for being Trumpies.
Email references the Ice Palace. I assume that’s the venue.
Will probably have to decide between Domain Days/ICANN Muscat and NamesCon. That’d be tough to do in consecutive weeks.
