NamesCon 2017

[Christopher]

Obviously this is a bit late, seeing as it starts today in the US, but NamesCon http://namescon.com/ has anyone here made it to this event, and is it worth trekking out to the USA for such a thing?

Also from this article http://morganlinton.com/this-domain-auction-could-and-likely-will-make-history/ looks like they sell off a portfolio of .com's is that something that is done her in Australia. Seems like a good place to sell to a direct audience, they may normally be spread over many social sites.

I was planning to go this year, but unfortunately the timing didn't work out, so I gave my ticket to a fellow domainer based in the US.

Ned attended last year and did some great write-ups of the event: http://www.domainer.com.au/?s=Namescon

Cool, nice write up, thanks Ned.

The auction results are all over the show as you would expect. I was watching the auction a little earlier.

In addition to the photos at DN Journal, some NamesCon sessions and events are being streamed live here.

It was very interesting to see the auction results for the names other than the .com domains and in particular 88.xyz $70,000 vs shoes.xyz $1,000. This tells the story of where the money is coming from I reckon.
