Name conference may sell out — NamesCon domain

Name conference may sell out — NamesCon domain

With over 400 attendees, NamesCon is nearing capacity.

I’m not sure what constitutes a “sell out”, but apparently this month’s NamesCon conference is nearing its capacity:

namescon-sellout

Over 400 people have by now registered, making this the biggest domainer-focused conference since Webfest nearly a year ago. This is despite being disclosed just a few months ago. The timing (with fresh TLDs finally rolling out) is great, the cost is low, and the content looks better than any show since the early DomainRoundtable conferences (perhaps since the same person, Jothan Frakes, is organizing the sessions).

I’m most excited regarding the mix of attendees. There will be the usual domainer crowd, a lot of first time conference-goers, fresh top level domain applicants, and many people that usually only make it to ICANN conferences.

NamesCon takes place January 13-15 at The Tropicana hotel in Las Vegas. A discounted registration fee of $399 is available until January 8.
