Scenes from the 2025 Domain Summit Conference That Completed Its 3-Day Run Wednesday Evening in London

The 2025 Domain Summit conference closed this evening in London, England. This year's event was held in a new venue, the city's roomy and conveniently located Business Design Centre. Domain Summit has been an annual event in London but from this point forward it is branching out with additional events around the globe (the next of those will be Domain Summit Africa, coming up next February in Nairobi). With that expansion, this year's London event was dedicated to the European market, though it will continue to attract attendees from all over the world as it did again this week. 

When the conference releases their official photos from this year's eventswe will put together a full review of the conference for you. In the meantime, as an appetizer, we gathered a few scenes posted by attendees on social media, to give you a taste of what transpired in London over the past three days.

where the 2025 Domain Summit was held this week.

Below: While the conference ran Tuesday and Wednesday, September 2 & 3, some of those who arrived early were treated to a tour, drinks and snacks at Team Internet's London headquarters Monday afternoon (September 1).

Above: On Monday evening, the pre-show activities continued with a Networking Party at a classic UK pub nearby.

Below: Bright and early Tuesday morning Domain Summit Founder Helmuts Meskonis (at left) made his was around the London Design Centre welcoming sponsors and exhibitors (including  DN.com's Jack Dai, at right) to this year's show.

Above: Three global partners signed on with Domain Summit to support the event's global expansion. They include .it.com Domains, Freename and Site.pro. Here you see .it.com Domans Founder Antony Insarov (at left) and Chief Strategy Officer Joe Alagna (at right) visiting the aeserver.com booth manned by Founder Munir Badr. Munir, of course, is also widely known as the Founder of Domain Days Dubai (the 2025 edition of that popular event is coming up next month).

Below: Out on the Exhibit Hall floor, Sedo's "Mr. Premium" Mark Ghoriafi (at left) took the opportunity to chat with Jeff Nyman (Digital New Media).

Above: Dozens of business sessions were presented on two separate tracks over Domain Summit's two business days. You can see the full agenda from the show here.

Below: The sessions began at 10am Monday morning with a Keynote from Team Internet CEO Michael Riedl. Photo credit: Gherardo Varani (Freename). 

Above: Above.com Aftermarket General Manager Nathan Parker (at right with Senior Account Manager Jodi Chamberlain) joined Sedo's Mark Ghoriafi on stage for Broker Talk, one of Wednesday's most popular business sessions.

Below: Some more of the many familiar faces in the Domain Summit crowd, (left to right) James Barker, James Iles (GoDaddy), Leanne McMahon (Crunch.id) and Lee Lovell (DNX.com).

By all accounts we've seen, just hours after closing,  Domain Summit 2025 is already being hailed as another highly productive event for those who were there to experience it first hand. More to come!
