NamesCon Global ❤️ CloudFest USA
Bringing the NamesCon and CloudFest communities together makes perfect sense—we’re only wondering why we didn’t think of it sooner! Here’s what you stand to gain by connecting with North America’s cloud computing leaders:
Many NamesCon partners sell into both domaining and Cloud markets—why not reach both in one place?
CloudFest USA’s core audience of MSPs and CSPs hold the keys to millions of end customers and SMBs: these seem like companies that motivated domain sellers would REALLY want to meet
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 attendees are experts in selling to SMBs and larger end customers—in other words, the buyers in the largest domain deals
