The Perfect Connection
Get Yourself Connected!
NamesCon Global 2024 brought all elements of the domain name industry together to build careers that last and portfolios that deliver. That’s why our theme was The Perfect Connection. The right connection means the difference between success and failure in any digital asset investing career.
- The left and right of the dot: Unlock the power of the full TLD spectrum
- Matching the right seller and the right buyer: working with brokers
- Using the right marketplace: They’re not all the same, so find the ones that fit your needs
Most importantly, NamesCon Global is where you’ll connect with the people who will help you build your career.
Your future peers, mentors, customers, and business partners are all coming to NamesCon Global—once you join them, you’ll find many opportunities to make perfect connections of your own.
Connecting with Real Experts
As social media gets less reliable, face-to-face connections with recognized experts becomes even more valuable. No matter how much you know about domaining—or how much you think you know!—it always pays to find perspectives and learn from people with different experiences in both business and life. NamesCon will help domainers answer questions such as:
- How does a new investor set goals and achieve them: whether they’re building a side hustle, a full-time career… or an empire?
- How can you take advantage of consolidating aftermarkets?
- Are traffic sources to parked and monetized websites evolving—and how do you take advantage of those changes?
- How does an investor make sense of Web3 naming opportunities and potential pitfalls?
- Where does domain investing fit into the larger world of internet technology?
- How do you recognize a domaining expert? How do you know when YOU’RE an expert?
Connecting to a Larger World
Besides facilitating knowledge sharing and networking within the vibrant NamesCon community, we also connect domain name and digital asset investors with cloud service and internet infrastructure providers as NamesCon Global co-locates with CloudFest USA, the #1 cloud computing and internet infrastructure event in the world. This means registered NamesCon attendees have full access to both events, which are running in parallel. Whether you connect during a session or at one of our famous parties, you’ll be sure to broaden your mind!
Those who joined us in Austin got to meet the individuals who are shaping the domain-name and digital asset economy at every level—from governing and managing bodies to channels and service providers; from strategic investors to the end customers who are searching for the exact name you have.
In this person-to-person industry, this was the perfect opportunity to make the perfect connection.
