I'm
back
after spending a wonderful Christmas
week with family members in
Charleston, South Carolina. I won't be
home for long though. Two weeks from
today we are off to Las Vegas to
cover the the inaugural NamesCon
conference for you. The event runs January
13-15 at the Tropicana Hotel. |

Show
organizers released the final
agenda over the weekend, an
ambitious program packed with keynote speakers
and 30 different business sessions spread
across three simultaneous tracks,
insuring there will be something for everyone at
NamesCon. Another highlight will be the WaterNight
charity social event benefiting the Water
School that will be held Tuesday
evening, January 14. In
addition to being there to file daily reports
for this column, I will sit in on a Meet
the Industry Press session moderated by Patrick
Carleton that is scheduled to get underway
at 11:55am on Wednesday. January 15. On stage
with me will be
Kevin Murphy (DomainIncite.com), Andrew
Allemann (DomainNameWire.com), Michael
Berkens (TheDomains.com) and Elliot
Silver (DomainInvesting.com).

Richard
Lau
NamesCon Founder |
You can read
more about how NamesCon plans to stand out
in the conference crowd in our show
preview article that features
an interview with show founder and veteran
domain investor Richard Lau.
A centerpiece
of Lau's strategy is an exceptionally low registration
fee - just $399 through January 7,
2014 (the cost rises to $599 Jan. 8
through January 13 and if you want to pay
at the door it will be $749).
If you want
to go to the WaterNight gala that will
also be held at the Tropicana, a
separate registration
is required for that. WaterNight is free
for NamesCon registrants (though donations
to the Water School will be greatly
appreciated). Those not registered for the
show can go for a minimum donation of
$100 - money well-spent as it goes to
an award
winning charity that has saved
countless lives through its
disease-eradicating clean water solution. |
