First
Round of Speakers Named for New
DomainingAmericas Conference Coming to Brazil in
October
|
|
Back
in April
I told
you about a new domain
conference - DomainingAmericas
- that is coming to Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil October 6 &
7, 2018. Since then show founder Abner
Duarte of PremiumDomains.com.br
has been busy putting the agenda
together and assembling an all-star
line-up of speakers for the event
that will be held at the five-star Grand
Hyatt Rio De Janiero. With
DomainingAmericas now just two
months away that process and other
final preparations are
accelerating.
Duarte,
a domain industry veteran who lives
in Boston but is a native of Brazil,
had this to say about why he wanted
to bring a major conference to his
homeland. "With more than 200
million people, Brazil is the
populous country in South America.
The most influential brands in
Brazil are technology companies
and as a domain investor, who's been
investing in the South American
domain market place for over two
decades the market place has significantly
grown over the last 20 years.
Investors, startups, registries,
registrars, registrants, hosting and
eCommerce companies have flocked
into the market, so the time is
right!"

To
make sure everything comes
together the way he envisions
it, Duarte just
brought veteran conference
producer Jodi Chamberlain
of 32Events
on board to handle event
logistics and speaker
co-ordination in the final run
up to the show. As many of our
readers know, Jodi was
Director of the first two NamesCon
conferences in Las Vegas and
has also helped produced many
other major conferences,
including T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
events and DomainingEurope
(now NamesCon Europe). Jodi
