First
Name Summit in New York City Now Just a Month
Away - Here's the Latest on What's Coming to the
Big Apple
|
|
In
April
I told
you about a
new digital branding
conference (incorporating
domains and development related
disciplines like SEO, social media
and marketing) that is coming to New
York City this summer. With the big
event at the Hilton Midtown
Manhattan, Name
Summit, now just a
month away a lot of the agenda
details that weren't available in my
original report have since been
filled in.
One of
the biggest developments is veteran domain broker Andrew
Rosener from MediaOptions.com
|
|
|
coming on board as a Co-Producer, joining
conference founders
Steven
Kaziyev (New
York Media) and Jason
Schaeffer (ESQwire.com)
in that role while Jodi
Chamberlain (32Events.com)
serves as Conference Director.

Regarding
the addition of Rosener to
the NameSummit production
team, Ms. Chamberlian said,
"Andrew's years of
industry experience,
knowledge and
professionalism are top
notch. He is a close
colleague to both Jason and
Steve which has made this
trio an amazing one to work
with. This new partnership
brings more value to the
event as Drew has a strong
eye for 'smart' business and
his desire to not only
support the conference but
join in as a partner speaks
volume to the direction it
has taken."
Regarding
the show agenda, Jodi added,
"We are covering
everything including
Influencer and Social
Branding, SEO, Adwords and
even a panel on how Blockchain
is being used to change paid
advertising and search.
Participants will also
get start up and business
coaching from FOWNDERS.com
and a great personal
business coach, Stacee
Mandeville."
"Our
speakers list is 99.9% completed.
To give you just a few
examples, we will
