Veteran
domain investor
Abner Duarte from PremiumDomains.com.br
was one of the first people I bumped
into at this year's NamesCon
conference in Las Vegas. I
couldn't help noticing Abner was
wearing a T-shirt promoting a new
event called Domaining
Americas to be held in Rio
De Janeiro, Brazil in October
2018. I asked what that was all
about and Abner, a native of Brazil
who now lives in Boston, told me he
was putting together a major domain
conference for South America with
only a few details - primarily
picking the hotel and exact dates -
left to nail down. He told me he
would let me know as soon as that
was done and the news came today.
The
debut edition of Domaining Americas
will be held at the five-star Grand
Hyatt Rio De Janiero on Saturday
and Sunday, October 6-7, 2018.
The conference
website is now up
including the registration
page where early bird
tickets priced at $275 (+
$17.39 ticketing fee) will be
available through June 1.
After that tickets rise to $475
through September 1 then reach the
full $699 rate that will be in
effect from that point forward.
The
show site notes, "Domaining
Americas will bring people together
from around the globe, including
investors, startups, registries,
registrars, registrants, hosting
and eCommerce

companies.
You will be able to interact
with industry leaders such as Nic.br,
GoDaddy, Verisign, ResellerClub,
Sedo, AfterNIC, HostGator
and many more. Win prizes,
collect swag, and hang out at beach
on your spare time. Our
exciting After Hours Party will be
another way to network with people
from the industry. With over 200
attendees expected, DomainingAmericas will
be the first of its kind in Latin
America."
The
conference agenda and list of
featured speakers will be finalized
in the weeks ahead with those
updates to be posted on the show
website as they develop. With its
location in one of the world's great
cities and a currently underserved
market for face to face domain
industry networking opportunities,
DomainingAmericas looks like an
event with great potential -
one that is a welcome addition to
the global conference calendar.
