We’re Building Even Bigger

NamesCon is the #1 event for the domain name industry, where the domaining world gathers to move forward. We’re building on the momentum of NamesCon Global 2022, where this dynamic community reconnected in person after nearly three years of remote events. We’ve combined everything we’ve learned since the pandemic to augment how we deliver a face-to-face experience.


First Look at the
NamesCon Agenda

The Deals that Matter

Catch a conversation with Leanne McMahon, domain investor and founder of domain sales analysis site Crunch.id, which shares details and stats on the domain name sales that matter. She will be joined in conversation by Ron Jackson of DNJournal. If you want straightforward insights into what works and what doesn’t in forming a built-to-last domaining career, then you can’t afford to miss this session!

The Future is Now: Position Your Portfolio to Meet Emerging Trends

Discover innovative ways for finding the best possible domain names to acquire in order to achieve brand dominance and a digital identity that stands out from the crowd. You’ll also learn how to price your hand-registered domain names in order to increase your sell-through rate. Experts Alex Verdea, Joseph Ciprut, Krista Gable, and Dennis Tinerino join star broker Kate Buckley to help you identify the best call-to-action and exact-match domains at the lowest price possible.
