NamesCon Global 2026 Update: The AI Focused Preliminary Agenda Is Out and Ticket Prices are Going Up Friday Night

The 2026 NamesCon Global conference in Miami is coming up fast. If you plan on attending the big event at the Ice Palace in Miami November 11 & 12, now is the time to finalize your travel plans, secure a room at the show hotel - the Marriott Biscayne Bay - and get the best ticket price. If the latter is important to you, register ASAP because prices will be going up Friday night (August 21) at the stroke of midnight. Be sure to use the DNJournal promo code - DNJ20 - at checkout to knock another 20% off the price (on a standard pass you will save $129.80).  

The preliminary NamesCon Global 2026 agenda is now online so you can get a much more detailed look at what the conference organizers have in store for you. As you would expect, AI will be the center of

attention, starting with the very first session - Building What Comes Next: The Internet Economy in the Age of AI - in which NamesCon CEO Christian Jaeger, Managing Director Anthony Pombal, Chairman of the Advisory Board Soeren von Varchmin and Chief Evangelist Christian Dawson will set the stage for everything that will follow. 

The latest preview NamesCon distributed noted, "As AI reshapes how people find, hold, and trust things online, ownership itself is being redefined. Domains are no longer just addresses, they’re increasingly becoming part of conversations about digital identity, trust, ownership, and long-term value creation. Together, these sessions explore how the domain industry is reinventing itself for the next generation of the Internet, not simply reflecting on the last one. See the program and start building your NamesCon Global agenda."

I will, or course, be in Miami, both to cover the conference for you and to participate on stage, most notably in the highly anticipated show closing session on November 12 - The Beanstalk Challenge Finale: Building Something Real - in which I'll sit down with Beanstalk Challenge Founder & Creator Rick Schwartz to review the ground breaking project that will come to an exciting conclusion that day in Miami.
