Explore the NamesCon Global Floor Plan
NamesCon Global returns to Miami this November as part of a shared venue with CloudFest Americas, bringing the domain community into the heart of a much wider internet infrastructure ecosystem.
Attendees will have access to two Expo Halls, multiple stages, meeting spaces, the outdoor Tiki Terrace, and networking areas throughout Ice Palace Studios.
At the center of the NamesCon experience will be the dedicated NamesCon Lounge, giving the domain community its own space to meet, network, and do business — while still providing access to the wider CloudFest Americas experience.
Two communities, one venue, and plenty of opportunities to connect.

VENUE: ICE PALACE STUDIOS
The Ice Palace Studios beautifully combines the charm of 1920s historic elegance with the vibrancy of modern creativity.
Originally an ice manufacturing plant, its rich history now provides a unique and inspiring setting for a wide range of events.
It’s legacy extends far beyond the stunning spaces. This venue has been the backdrop for events that have shaped cultural history.
INNOVATIVE SPONSORS
NAMESCON GLOBAL 🤝 CLOUDFEST AMERICAS
Bringing the NamesCon and CloudFest Americas communities together worked brilliantly—we’re only wondering why we didn’t think of it sooner! Here’s what you can gain by connecting with North America’s cloud computing leaders:
Registrars have not only millions of domains under management: they also own many premium domains, which the NamesCon community can help them turn into a proper business vertical
CloudFest Americas core audience of CSPs hold the keys to millions of end customers and SMBs: these seem like companies that motivated domain sellers would REALLY want to meet
CloudFest attendees are experts in selling to SMBs and larger end customers—in other words, the buyers in the largest domain deals
Many NamesCon partners sell into both domaining and Cloud markets—why not reach both in one place?
