ICA Opens Early Bird Ticket Sales for 2026 Annual Las Vegas Meeting to All Members (and Anyone Who Wants to Join Now)

The Internet Commerce Association (ICA) Annual Meeting in Las Vegas has become one of the most important events on the global domain industry calendar. I've always thought this conference was destined to reach that status because supporting it directly benefits everyone in the domain investing and development community. 

The ICA is the non-profit organization that has been successfully fighting to protect domain registrant's rights

for years for almost 20 years now. They have been able to do that thanks to generous contributions from forward-thinking corporate sponsors and reasonably priced individual memberships at multiple levels. The latter are  designed to make it possible for every professional in this business to have a hand in helping both the industry and themselves continue to grow and prosper in the years ahead. 

That is what makes the ICA Annual Member Meeting so unique. Every person there has skin in the game and a vested interest in seeing their fellow members succeed. That makes building meaningful relationships infinitely easier and has created a special bond among those who understand and appreciate what this community can accomplish when we work together. You can get a feel for the ICA Meeting experience in our review of the 2025 event held this past January at Resorts World is Las Vegas. 

With that background, you can understand why the opening of early bird ticket sales for the 2026 Annual Meeting (and the substantial savings they represent) is always a highly anticipated event among members, as well as those want to be (any industry participant can join right now on the ICA website). Early bird pricing will be available until August 15, 2025. As we told you about last month, the 2026 Meeting will he held January 15-17 at a spacious new venue - the Park MGM Hotel, with discounted rooms available both there and at the upscale Nomad Hotel on the same property. The Park MGM (located directly on the Las Vegas Strip) is shown in the photo below. The Nomad Hotel occupies the top four floors of the building, so you are just a quick elevator ride down to the conference floor from all rooms at both hotels.

ICA Executive Director Kamila Sekiewicz promised, "This will be our biggest and most connected meeting yet. We’re building on the momentum of past years to deliver three days of engaging content, meaningful networking, member-led sessions, and time to connect with friends and peers from across the domain name industry. Whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time, this meeting is designed to bring together the best of our community—and we’d love for you to be part of it."

We will be there of cours, both to see fellow members and to cover the show for readers who can't make the trip. We do hope that we will have the opportunity to see you there!
