Right after Feng's talk, Jian

the intelligent upgrading of

Above

was Children's Day in China
so several attendees brought their
kids along so they could have a
great time together.

After fueling up on the treats in
the Exhibit Hall, GDS guests

afternoon session, Guta.com

Trading Platforms. Below:
That expert panel included (left to

(Sedo), Jun Yang (West.cn)
and Edmon Chung (.asia).
The
questions the panelists tackled at
this session included:
-
Compared with 2018,
has the domain name trading market of 2019
had any obvious changes? What are the main causes of these changes?
-
In what aspects can global domain trading platforms have better cooperation
and communication? Will the trade friction between China and the US affect the domain name industry?
-
What challenges or opportunities do guests see in the business development of their respective companies? The forecast
for domain name market trends in the second half of 2019?
Above
& below: Global Domain Summit
organizers want their show to be
fun and entertaining, as well as
informative. One way they did
that was by holding a Lucky
Drawing periodically between
sessions Saturday afternoon. Several
fortunate guests took home some nice
prizes to go along with their
memories of the 2019 event.
Above:
The annual Industry Awards
ceremony is also a big part of the
Global Digital Summit. In
one of the final sessions of the
2019 event a coveted set of awards
for the year's Most Popular
Overseas Domain Name Service
Platforms went to Godaddy,
Sedo, Afilias, Webnic and
Guta.com. Company
representatives were on hand to
accept their awards. Below:
With another successful event in the
books, it was time for the Closing
Ceremony at Global Digital
Summit. While this marked the
end of official business, there was
still more to come on the social
side as you will see in the closing
photos.

the VIP Guests Dinner and Show
that was held Saturday night (June

year for Global Digital Summit and

world class event.
