NamesCon, the biggest domain conference was a buzzing entrepreneurial sandbox a week ago today.
Almost 900 domain investors gathered to exchange ideas and to forge new relationships, to establish joint ventures and to strengthen allegiances.
Alas, even such a carefully planned event had its flaws and vices, and it did not leave everyone happy. 🙁
NamesCon 2015. It sucked.
Some might find some omissions unacceptable, others might shake their heads in disbelief, but who are we to judge?
Here are the top 10 things that really sucked during NamesCon 2015:
- Chef Patrick did not attend – We haven’t seen his flashing glasses since 2010 or so.
- GoDaddy did not give everyone a rubber chicken as a souvenir.
- Frank Schilling didn’t give away rum cakes – or Lucra cars. What a disappointment!
- The only ‘happy ending‘ we experienced was the name of chocolate desserts at the GoDaddy dinner.
- Tropicana security woke us up at 3:15am as we allegedly matched the description of a naked man carrying a box down the hallway. Whatever.
- No Elvis impersonators were seen at the venue. Finally, we noticed one pumping gas at 2:15am after Water Night.
- We had to take a shower every day. No spray on perfume booths were available.
- Richard Lau owns Resume.com and it’s not fair. Not fair at all.
- Tiffany Marler rocked the hula during Water Night, all while I sucked at it.
- Um. That’s it. I think.
But seriously, it will be better next year, so be there or be square.

Did no 5 really happen?
Kosta – Yes. They banged on my door, then moved on to the next one. Scary. I had to convince them I usually move boxes while fully dressed.
