Initially, I did not plan to attend NamesCon in November. We have quite a few family things going on in November, and it’s an inconvenience to ensure our kids get where they need to be – and I hate missing their events. After some further thought, I decided I will most likely attend for at least a day.

I received an email this morning reminding me that the price for a NamesCon ticket will increase tomorrow. The standard pass is listed at $499 and apparently increases to $649 tomorrow. The vendor pass increases from $799 to $999.

Dharmesh has acquired high-value domain names like Chat.com, Prompt.com, and Agent.com for millions of dollars. He later famously sold Chat.com to OpenAI for more than $15 million, including equity in the privately-held company.

In addition to these acquisitions, Dharmesh recently built an AI-driven domain name valuation agent on his Agent.ai platform. It can probably be billed as a work in progress, but it provides users with both a quantitative valuation along with a qualitative aspect as well. It doesn’t hurt that values tend to be on the sunny side of the garden.

To make it easier for users to navigate to the domain valuation agent, Dharmesh shared that he acquired the DomainValue.com domain name:
