The
Covid-19 pandemic
has made it virtually impossible
for people in any business
to gather safely in significant
numbers. However, the biggest
conference in our industry, NamesCon,
has decided the solution to the
"virtually impossible"
is to go virtual - at least
in the near term. While they still
plan to hold the annual NamesCon
Global conference live at a
location still to be announced
next January, they are going to
fill in the gap with NamesCon
360° - a three-day
virtual conference to be presented
online September 9-11, 2020.

The official
announcement of NamesCon 360° today said, "NamesCon 360° will feature
live and on-demand presentations, workshops, networking, and
deal-making opportunities on a scale not yet done in the domain industry.
Besides bringing elements you love from NamesCon straight to your home or
office, we're adding some new features that can only be done in a
virtual environment."
The notice
emphasized, "This is no Zoom meeting! You'll take part through your web browser
and mobile device for a wide range of interactions. From presentations for a global audience to regionally-relevant content, NamesCon 360° will have something for you, wherever you are.
While we all miss our face-to-face meet-ups, this is the right time to create a virtual event. You'll meet everyone who is serious about domaining: an easily-accessible virtual conference is a big step in bringing more
domainers - with all their experience, perspectives, and of course
portfolios - together."
With people around
the world living in different time zones, some are sleeping while others are
awake. NamesCon 360° organizers say you can forget the clock
and join in at whatever time best suits you schedule, noting, "A domain never sleeps, and neither does NamesCon 360°! During the run of the event, you'll have
all-day, all-night access to the event hubs, as well as on-demand content and networking with professionals in your region—and the other side of the world."
No pricing for the
event has been set yet and there are many details still to be filled in over
the couple of months but you can keep track of the latest developments by
periodically checking in on the NamesCon 360°
website.
