First Ever IDN Event and Auction on Tap for Fresh York in October

First Ever IDN Event and Auction on Tap for Fresh York in October

Fresh York City event will educate regarding Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs).

IDN EventFew topics have received greater attention this year than IDNs. So it’s fitting that the first ever “IDN Event and Auction” will take place October 30, 2010 at the Haru Restaurant in Fresh York City at 7 pm. The event is organized by IDNTools and will be sponsored by Register.com, Moniker and SnapNames.

The goal of the event is to educate domain registrants regarding IDNs, their value proposition, how to register them, the value of developing IDNs, the importance of connecting with local audiences, and we will also hold an IDN auction.

Although the agenda is not yet set, speakers include DotAsia CEO Edmon Chung, Elliot Silver, and Associated Cities Executive Director Patrick Carleton.

Early bird registration through October 1 is $99. Following October 1 registration prices increase to $275.
