A Watershed Moment for Domain Industry: NamesCon Online 2020?

October 1, 2020 1 Comment
Could the future of NamesCon be a hybrid conference model?
Written by: Alvin Brown

“An all virtual conference or event will never work.”

“People meeting online only for a conference is simply a waste of time, and the most outlandish idea I’ve ever heard of or thought about.”

“Why would I ever attend an online-only conference?”

Let’s be real with one another or, at least, ourselves for a moment. How many of us likely thought and said those very words, if not something similar, prior to COVID-19?

Little did I, you, or anyone else realize that NamesCon Global 2020: Economic Domain Forum could likely be the last physical domain investing conference anyone in the industry would attend, and for a long while.

The Domain Show 2020 Recap
Written by: Alvin Brown

The domain industry chartered into new and virtual territory with the debuting of the first ever digital investors online conference sponsored by Dan.com: TheDomainShow.com.

It’s Founder and Executive Producer, Page Howe, is no stranger to the industry, investing in domains for 20+ years, having sold 5,000+ domains (most notably sold Seniors.com for $1.8M), and once known for his domain tip sheets, emoji domain investing, and occasional DomainSherpa appearances through the years.

As all eyes were on Page and team, industry professionals eagerly awaited and anticipated what the shift would be like from a paid in-person to a free virtual conference experience spanning three days, July 23-25.

There were many questions to be answered from the time it was announced in early April:

  • What would be the format of the show?
  • Who and want would be presented?
  • Would sessions be live, pre-recorded, or both?
  • How would the show address time zone challenges?
  • and many more…

Day one of NamesCon was all about settling into the conference and venue layout, meeting new people, and finding your lane of expertise and interest amongst the many information-packed sessions.

With Day one jitters behind us, Day two of NamesCon was about going deeper in old and newly found relationships, empowering everyone to do what it is they do well as presentd by Aman Bhutani — CEO of GoDaddy, and of course, awards and the much anticipated live domain auction.
