NamesCon Online will be September 9th - 11th, 2020

NamesCon has announced that its 2020 conference will be held entirely online from September 9th through 11th, bringing together domain investors, industry professionals, and domain name enthusiasts in a virtual format for the first time in the conference's history. The pivot to a fully virtual conference was necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced events worldwide to rapidly adapt. The domain industry, like many others, has had to reimagine how it connects and conducts business.

How the Domain Industry Adapted to the Virtual Conference Era

The domain industry has traditionally been built around in-person relationships formed at NamesCon and similar events. Moving to a virtual format is a significant shift, but it also opens the conference to a broader global audience who might not have been able to attend in Las Vegas or Austin in prior years. The domain community has shown remarkable adaptability throughout its history, and a virtual NamesCon represents an opportunity to expand the industry's reach while maintaining the connections and transactions that make the event essential.
