NameSummit Postponed - 2018 NYC Show Scheduled for August Moves to New Dates in November 

The 2nd annual  edition of the NameSummit conference was scheduled to run August 6-7 at the Westin Times Square Hotel in New York City. However, organizers have now decided to move the 2018 event to November 5-6 at the same hotel in Manhattan

Jason Schaeffer, who co-founded NameSummit with Steven Kaziyev, filled me in on the change of plans. "On May 31st Steve and I hosted our first Real Estate Summit in New York that covered everything from short sale and mortgages to blockchain for Real Estate and online branding," Schaeffer began. "Much of that one day event covered branding on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook to

domain names and personal branding for agents.  The coverage had a lot of crossover and connection to what our speakers are teaching at NameSummit. Given the feedback after the event, we decided that we were going to host another Real Estate Summit in the fall."

Schaffer continued, "As we were moving toward this year’s NameSummit, the resounding feedback from speakers and sponsors was that we should seriously consider doing a fall event rather than the August dates.  While we originally chose the August dates to avoid possible conflicts with other industry conferences, in the end doing an event in the summer proved to be a big challenge with everyone wanting to take time for vacation and generally slow down.   Given the obvious connections between Real Estate and Domain Names and the fact that much of our content for Real Estate Summit related to digital branding and monetizing digital assets, we started giving serious thought to combining the two shows in the fall.  We started discussions with the Westin a couple of months ago and finally this week obtained clearance to do the new event on November 5 & 6th."

"We are very excited for the Fall show as NYC gives us the opportunity to bring the best in Real Estate and Branding together so the energy should be great and the weather will be

nice.  The Westin is accommodating us too with a room rate that is only $10 higher per night than our Summer rate which is pretty good for the high season in Manhattan."

Schaeffer also noted, "Tickets will be priced the same as before with a $299 to $699 range and we will be providing light breakfast and lunch both days along with a party on Monday night.   We’ve already spoken with some Registries and they are excited about the opportunity to connect with the real estate industry to expand the discussion on domains and new gTLDs. In the end, the combined events provide an even greater opportunity for the domain industry to educate and connect with those that are going to buy and use domain names. Our focus remains on helping increase domain name usage and helping people grow their online presence, promote their brands and properties in this changing landscape."

Schaeffer said the fall event will be covering, among other things: 

Influencer Branding

Social Media Branding

Geo-Domains and Geo Targeting

SEO and Digital Media Best Practices

How Blockchain is Expanding 
Opportunities for Real Estate Investing

New gTLDs and Domain Opportunities

Short Sales and Mortgages

Personal Branding and Coaching

Domain Brokerage and Investing Opportunities

Digital Marketing for Agents and Investors

"With the combination of Real Estate Summit and NameSummit, we can help focus the conversation and bring the real property and online property worlds together. We are looking forward to hosting our domain industry friends in New York City this fall," Schaeffer concluded.
