NamesCon 2025 in Miami, Florida, provided domain investors and other industry professionals with an unforgettable experience.
It carried the legacy of the original NamesCon Vegas conference remarkably well; at the same time, it broke away from the norm as the venue separated itself from the primary hotels. This way, ample vendor space was utilized, keeping the majority of attendees on professional, well-designed meeting grounds, away from the hotels. Attendees engaged longer with each other; after all, that’s what the conference is all about! 😉
Here are some additional photos from the event:
The Freename guys were super friendly, promoting their remarkable company’s convergence of Web2 & Web3 domains, while video-interviewing an endless stream of attendees. Watch out for our interview in the coming weeks!

Duckies, duckies everywhere! The Sedo booth is full of well-printed material about domain investing, auctions, and more—yet, everyone wanted to grab a colorful ducky.
