Domainers return to the Tropicana in September — WHD.usa hopes

Domainers return to the Tropicana in September — WHD.usa hopes

WHD’s U.S. event will be held at the same location as NamesCon.

Now that WorldHostingDays owns NamesCon (both are now owned by GoDaddy), the former is moving its U.S. show to the same venue as NamesCon.

WHD.usa will take place September 11-12 at the Tropicana hotel in Las Vegas. It hopes to attract 1,000 attendees, which would be a bump up from last year’s event in Phoenix.

One attraction is that the event is free if you register ahead of June 30. Passes includes lunch and snacks, too. Given the cheap flights and hotel rooms in Vegas, WHD.usa can be a very affordable event to attend.

Although the event is regarding the webhosting industry, webhosting and domain names are intertwined. There will surely be sessions regarding domain names and you’ll see lots of domain industry people there.
