Stefitz continues to add new
elements to an event that he said
will easily be the biggest in the
series to date. Having already
chosen a new host city, The Hague
in the Netherlands, for
the 2016 conference May 29-31,
Stefitz just announced another first
- Domaining Europe's inaugural domain

agenda won't be posted until
early April but Stefitz has
already announced there will
be a Dotcom Day on May

ccTLDs) on May 31. We've
now learned that Verisign
(the administrator of the .com

day and will send Data
Scientist Andrew Simpson
to provide advice during a Meet
the Expert session.
Simpson
will cover trends in
domain name investment that
include top trending words in
various languages,
characteristics of domain
names and parts of speech. He
will also show how Verisign
tools can help you find great
names with these identified
trends. Verisign will also
sponsor a Gala Dinner
the same day (Monday evening,
May 30). |
The NonCom
Day May 31 will feature .CLUB's
globe-trotting Chief Marketing Officer
Jeff Sass and Ingrid Baele, Head of IP&S at
corporate giant Philips, who
will talk about their plans for .philips,
one of the first ".brand"
new gTLDs. Stefitz also said Uniregistry
(operator of many new gTLDs
including .link and .click) plans to
send as many five representatives to
the show.

Stefitz
also told us about a couple of
additional speakers that have
been added to the line up. Michael
Gilmour from
ParkLogic.com will come in
from Australia to
participate in a panel
discussion of parking issues
that will include
representatives from Sedo,
Bodis, DomainSponsor

Braden Pollock moderating
the event. Canada's Ilze
Kaulins-Plaskacz (who was
profiled in our September 2015
Cover
Story) will also
be there to participate in a
domain investment panel.
To
cap it off, Stefitz announced

those who want to attend a
limited time opportunity to
buy a half-price ticket
for Domaining Europe 2016 for
