In 2014, NamesCon quietly entered the domain conference arena, with a clear indication of its intentions: to deliver a meaningful, educating conference of substance for domain industry professionals.<\/p>\n

By carefully planning this year’s event, Richard Lau and his trusted team of hard-working warriors managed to introduce an entire industry into an era of much needed Renaissance<\/em>.<\/p>\n

NamesCon 2015<\/strong><\/a> delivered substance, content, opportunities and left everyone attending with an unmistakable feeling that they were witnessing creation in the making.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Without revealing the identity of the person who made this statement, I heard the words “this, right here, is the future<\/em>” from the lips of a domain industry professional known for his firm support of traditional TLDs. The statement was made in reference to the presentation and presence of Uniregistry<\/strong>, known for its consumer-centric marketing campaigns and products.<\/p>\n

The euphoria that stems from participating in a moment of creation<\/strong>, acknowledging its impact for the future, is paramount.<\/p>\n

NamesCon took an industry on the brink of division, and allowed everyone to contribute their pebble in building something grand; the collective effort of positive energy arising from contribution is what propels humanity forward. The domain industry is redefining itself, almost two decades after its humble formation.<\/p>\n

To the team of NamesCon, the event was the labor of love<\/strong>, and a commitment that required great amounts of hard work. It’s not the record-breaking numbers in attendance that define its success, it’s the ability to structure and organize a conference in a way that everyone participating can contribute and benefit from its every moment.<\/p>\n

Domain industry professionals deserve to have a conference they can call home<\/strong>, a gathering that promotes growth, opportunities for brainstorming and the sharing of ideas for the future. I am honored<\/strong> to have been a part of this event, and I look forward to the next one in 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
