VENUE: ICE PALACE STUDIOS

54920303607 91fd538a38 4k

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.

TESTIMONIALS

“Having face-time with people at NamesCon 2025 was especially valuable because it allowed for direct conversations beyond phone calls, facilitating genuine feedback gathering, celebrating wins in person, and identifying new business opportunities. This environment also made it possible to close deals that may have been in progress, strengthening relationships and accelerating business outcomes.”

GoDaddy

“The Expo was excellent. Layout flowed and high quality conversations were had. Closing party was real fun too. The venue was the perfect size, we could walk around and see everyone”.

Above.com

“Great energy. Great attendance and attendees. Good networking parties”.

.Art

“I loved grabbing a picnic table and holding meetings outside in the sun!”

Short.com

“I really love seeing everyone and get so inspired when reconnecting with colleagues and meeting new ones.”

Trupelo, Inc.

“NamesCon is the must attend event for any serious Domainer.”

Castello Brothers

“I’m excited to return to NamesCon and connect with the OGs and also new builders and operators. Events like this are a great reminder that behind every domain and every tool, there are real people creating real opportunities — and I can’t wait for the conversations… and hopefully at least one game of padel in Miami!”

INNOVATIVE SPONSORS

BECOME A SPONSOR

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?
