ICA Announces New Venue, Dates and Expanded Schedule for 2026 Annual Meeting in Las Vegas

The Internet Commerce Association (ICA), the non-profit organization that fights to protect domain registrant's rights, has announced some major changes for their next Annual Member's Meeting in Las Vegas. Those include a new venue for the 2026 event and the addition of a third day to the rapidly growing conference's schedule. After running at the huge Resorts World complex for the past three years, the meeting is moving to another popular location on the Las Vegas Strip - the Park MGM - for an

event that will run January 15-17, 2026. Those dates come immediately after Affiliate Summit West which will make them especially convenient for the many members who attend both.

The Park MGM location comes with several advantages including rooms (both at the Park MGM and at an upscale option, NoMad Hotels) that are much closer to the conference spaces - just a short elevator ride down (the NoMad suites occupy the top four floors of the building and have a separate lobby).  For those who don't smoke another huge plus is the fact the Park MGM is the only hotel on the entire strip with a No Smoking policy, including the casino. The Park MGM, formerly known as the Monte Carlo, has 3,000 newly renovated rooms and a variety of popular dining options onsite and next door (the Park is connected to Aria by a walkway and also has a  tram connection to the Bellagio).

The Park MGM sits in the middle of all of the action on the Las Vegas Strip.

Registration will be opening soon with early bird pricing, so keep an eye out for that. The main thing the ICA wanted to do now was get the dates and other major change information out there so you can save the dates. If you haven't been to an ICA meeting you are missing out on what has become one of the most informative, entertaining and productive events on the global conference calendar. You can get a good idea of what the experience entails from our review of this year's conference held this past January. You do need to be an ICA member to attend, and if you are a professional in this industry, you definitely should consider joining!
