The
Stage is Set for the Debut Edition of Domain
Summit Africa February 23 & 24 in Nairobi |
|
We've
always described the domain industry as a global
business because a domain name and hosting
account allows you to connect with people all
over the world (and do it at a cost that is
amazingly affordable). While most of that business
connectivity has been in the virtual world,
a remarkable and constantly growing array of
in-person conferences is turning the
industry into a face-to-face business on a
global scale. The latest evidence of that is
Africa's first major commerce-oriented domain
conference, Domain
Summit Africa 2026, that is coming to Nairobi,
Kenya next week.
The
event, that we first told you about last
summer, will be staged Monday &
Tuesday (February 23 & 24) at the Villa
Rosa Kempinski Hotel.
For those who wondered if a first time event in a
new market could draw a crowd, that question was
answered earlier this week when conference Founder
Helmuts Meskonis announced tickets had sold
out. |

Meskonis
Domain Summit Founder |
Helmuts,
of course, has already shown he knows how to
draw a crowd, having done so with four
annual editions of the original Domain
Summit conference in London (the
most reccent of which was held
in September). Entering a new
market hasn't fazed him either, having done
that with strategic partners for the first
Domain Summit Asia event that
was held in Hong Kong in November. With
that background Helmuts and his team was
able to hit the ground running for their
first foray in Africa that is being produced
in association with Kenic,
the official registry operator for Kenya's .ke
country code top level domain. Working
together they have lined up a
terrific international
list of speakers and an ambitious
agenda that will keep attendess
busy learning, networking and socializing in
the Kenyan capital (home to 5 million
people) day and night. The show will
kick off Monday morning at 10 o'clock local
time when Kenic's CEO Andrew Mwanyota Lewela
and CMO Gitau Muraguri will welcome the
audience to this landmark event. |
