Are you attending NamesCon Online from September 22nd to 24th? That event is taking place online, obviously.
A lot of domain investors are experiencing online fatigue already, yearning for an in-person domain conference but in the US and Europe that’s a big no-no thanks to the Covid19 pandemic.
Not a problem in China, it seems, where a Chinese domain investor “get-together” involved 240 people attending it.
Chinese domain investor Yue Dai (Dai Yue) shared the news of the Chinese domain investor gathering:
Just finished a get-together of old Internet friends, about 240 people attended, almost all of whom had good domain names, including about 50 professional domain name investors.
