NamesCon confirms three more shows after being acquired
NamesCon says it has booked the venue for three more years of domain name conferences, following its acquisition this week.
The conference organizers said today that it has been acquired by 13-year-old German events outfit WorldHostingDays, which usually focuses on the hosting market, for an undisclosed sum.
NamesCon said in a press release that all existing commitments — such as tickets and sponsorship deals — will be honored, and that the same folk will still run the 2017 conference.
It said that it has booked the Tropicana hotel in Las Vegas, venue for the first three events, for the next three years.
The next three events will be held January 22 – 25, 2017, January 28 – 31, 2018 and January 27 – 30, 2019, the company said.
NamesCon focuses on the business of domain names, providing sessions on the buy and sell sides of the business.
