evening.
If you're going to be at the show,
you'd better get a good night of
sleep Monday night because you will
probably be going non-stop in
the 24 hours that follow!
The
first two Tuesday keynotes will be
back to back talks that start at
10am - the first featuring ICANN
Global Domains Division President Akram
Atallah and the second Greenberg
Traurig, LLP's Marc
Trachtenberg.

With
the boom in the Chinese
domain market this year many
attendees will come to
NamseCon looking for more
information on what is
happing there and they will
certainly get that. At
11:45am Tuesday Allegravita
CEO Simon Cousins
will present a MasterClass:
China Boot Camp
for Registries and
he will will return at
3:20pm for a MasterClass:
China Boot Camp
for Domainers.
Sandwiched
between those two
Masterclasses will be a
2:15pm session in which Uniregistry
Broker Ran Cui
will provide advice on Selling
Domains for a Profit in the
Chinese Market. |
Tuesday
afternoon will also bring two more keynote
talks starting with an address
from Public Interest Registry
CEO Brian Cute at 1:45pm. I
will be participating in the second
one at 4:25pm when I will interview Donuts
Inc. Co-Founder and CEO Paul
Stahura in a Fireside Chat. We
profiled Paul in our July 2015 Cover
Story and anyone who has
read that piece knows Stahura has a
fascinating and inspiring life story
that he will be sharing on stage.
Donuts
Inc. Co-Founder & CEO
Paul Stahura's "Eureka!"
moment came 20 years ago while
he was in Italy on his
honeymoon. Paul was reading a copy
of Wired Magazine that
convinced him to go all in on
the Internet. Stahura will be
sharing his life story during a
NamesCon Fireside Chat with
me on January 12, 2016 at 4:25pm.
When
the Tuesday business day is done
things will still just be getting
started at the Tropicana Hotel. At
7pm the popular Women in
Domaining event will be held
giving the dozens or brilliant women
in our industry a chance to get
together to compare notes and make
new friends.

donations for the WaterSchool

last January at NamesCon in
Las Vegas. |
Capping
the Tuesday schedule will be
the fabulous Water
Night Gala that
will run from 9am to 2am
Wednesday morning at the
Tropicana's Havana Club.
Water Night is a fundraising
party for the WaterSchool
that has raised hundreds of
thousands of dollars for the
life saving charity. In
fact, as NamesCon
Co-Founder Richard
Lau told us in our
December 2015 Cover Story
profiling him, raising funds
for the WaterSchool was the main
reason NamesCon was
launched in the first place.
This has become a great
event for a great cause and
one you certainly won't want
to miss.
There
will be much more going on
Tuesday (January 12) than I
have touched on in this
post. You can see the full
agenda here. In
my next post I'll tell you
about some of the key things
scheduled for the fourth and
final day of the big event
(Wednesday, January 13) in
Las Vegas. |
