High-Level Description
NamesCon brings you rich and actionable insights into the complex world of digital assets, featuring domain names, NFTs, and emerging elements of the new economy—so you can find and act upon new opportunities. NamesCon Global is our flagship event, bringing together the people who build and grow the domain-name industry. This is the place to build the strong relationships and strategic partnerships that drive this person-to-person business.

Agenda At A Glance
As the world of digital assets evolves, domain name investors must evolve as well. NamesCon Global 2022 will deliver the must-know elements of domaining and digital asset investment for industry veterans and newcomers alike.
This will include fundamentals such as domain name valuation and monetization, the dynamics of brokerage, and nTLD trends—as well as the skillset you’ll need for tomorrow: domaining on the blockchain, forward-thinking investment in NFTs, and working with lucrative namespaces subject to enhanced regulation.
At NamesCon Global, you’ll connect with the people, tools, and resources to level up your investing career and master your digital assets.
Domain Auction
You won’t want to miss our live Domain Auction on Thursday, January 30, from 5:30-9pm Central Time in Austin, Texas. A cornerstone of NamesCon, this is where you put your heart, nerve, and industry knowledge on the line for some seriously high stakes. Last year’s domain auction was the biggest in NamesCon history, with OL.COM selling for $900,000 on the floor. That evening, LEADS.COM sold for $435,000. It wasn’t just a night for high-dollar names: several four-letter .COMs sold for under $800 to eagle-eyed investors.
Everything you know about the domain industry comes into play when you bid for a name, as you test your nerves against your peers in the room as well as investors around the world on the internet.
Our friends at RightOfTheDot are bringing this live auction to the industry for the fifth year, this time on an updated platform provided by our partners at GoDaddy. You must get verified to bid on items over $2500, so start here—hit the button below to register as a bidder.
NamesCon Global | Event Passes
NamesCon has the most competitive ticketing prices around for investors, brokers, and domaining entrepreneurs. We also have a pass tier for registries and marketplace operators, so their teams can get up close and personal with their most important customer base.
These different attendee types bring complementary dynamics to the event, while also protecting the NamesCon community from getting overwhelmed by swarms of less-serious service providers. Meanwhile, the lower price for attendees and brokers expands the audience base for channels to find new customers and partners. Together, these ticket types help deliver a top-notch conference experience for everyone involved.
