Momentum offers free new gTLD show passes
Momentum Events is offering brands a free pass to its upcoming Digital Strategy & DotOps Congress in Amsterdam.
The deal is only open to companies that have not already applied for a new dot-brand gTLD. Each eligible company gets one free pass for the two-day event. Additional tickets start at $299.
For applicants and others the standard price is $599 per person. That’s about half the price of previous conferences in the series, which is now in its fifth incarnation.
Previous shows have taken place in New York and London.
Confirmed speakers for Amsterdam include executives from Philips, Goodyear, Coke and Google. From the domain world, Afilias, doMEn, Donuts and Dot Luxury are due to talk.
DI, which is a nominal media sponsor of the show, may also be on a panel.
The shows were previously called the Digital Strategy & New gTLD Congress, but Momentum has switched out “New gTLD”, which perhaps caused non-domain folks’ eyes to glaze, for “DotOps”.
No, I don’t know what that means either.
The conference will take place at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Amsterdam, Netherlands from September 18 to 19.

Yes. So DotOps. Ok. We can perhaps have made that clearer. These events attract a number of constituencies with a core focus on brands. For certain round one brands we are hearing that they are looking for information that will help them OPerationalise their TLD (from a marketing angle) and for prospective round two brands they are focusing on the OPportunity that a gTLD can offer
So we came up with DotOps.
Its a bit clunky I admit. But its nice to have the opportunity to explain it too!
