LAS VEGAS, NV – NamesCon Global 2019 is well underway with just one day remaining. While here since Sunday I’ve had just enough time to visit a few panels and keynotes of choice, all of which were great and well worth attending as listening and learning, if it creates just one new idea or new potential, can help steer direction in one’s career; not to mention all of the great networking opportunities the event provides while keeping your current industry relationships alive. Sure, email is great, but there is nothing like catching up in the real world.
Here are some photos of what’s happening here at NamesCon. This year it seems a little quieter and smaller than I’ve seen thus far in the three or four years I’ve been attending, however, there is still a lot going on here and if a domain name enthusiast, you’ll likely never have had a better reason to visit Las Vegas; word is, this is the last year here.
