Unlocking Tomorrow
Coming Home to Miami in 2025
The #1 Event for the Domain Name Industry where investors, brokers, technologists and service providers connect to pick up new tools, gain the latest insights and add value to their portfolios
Happy 40th Anniversary, Domainers! 🎂
1985 was foundational for the domain name industry, with the first .com registered to Symbolics.com, and others like HP.com and Think.com getting in early on the action.
Now, 40 years young, the industry continues to grow and innovate, adapting to AI, Web3 and awaiting the 2026 expansion of the gTLD program.
Unlocking Tomorrow — In Miami 🌴
The 2025 NamesCon Global conference will explore all the ways the domain community is working to define the future of the industry. We look forward to welcoming the entire community to Miami, Florida—a city that’s already at the heart of the domain name industry
The Industry’s Response to Moving to Miami:
“NamesCon in Miami will be a great experience that brings the old and new together in the world’s best city. URLs, Crypto, AI all booming in South Florida and home to the world’s top domain investors. Will be a do not miss event…See you in Miami in November,” – Chad Folkening, eCorp / AgentDAO
“The move to South Florida marks an exciting new chapter for NamesCon, bringing the industry back to its roots where the first domain conferences began. It’s a fitting location to celebrate the growth and evolution of our industry,” – Monte Cahn, RightOfTheDot

NamesCon Global 🤝 CloudFest USA
Bringing the NamesCon and CloudFest USA 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 USA’s 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 USA 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?
