Domain Days Dubai 2025 — hosted by AEserver.com and the Dubai Blockchain Center — wrapped up its most ambitious edition yet at the Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah on October 22–23, delivering a record attendance, powerhouse sessions, and a closing night worthy of a Hollywood finale.
More than 300 attendees, 51 speakers, and 30 international sponsors gathered under one roof, marking a sharp rise in participation and diversity compared to prior years.
Positioned as the flagship event for the Middle East and Africa, Domain Days Dubai drew heavyweights from across the domain, hosting, and Web3 ecosystems — including registry and registrar leaders, investors, entrepreneurs, and innovators shaping the next wave of digital identity.
“The energy this year was electric,” said Munir Badr, Founder of Domain Days and CEO of AEserver.com.
“From groundbreaking ideas to yacht deck deals, Domain Days Dubai 2025 proved that Dubai is not just hosting the future of domains — it’s shaping it. Our goal is to make this event the ultimate global gathering where digital infrastructure, innovation, and investment converge, with Dubai as its beating heart.”
The upgraded venue setup and expanded exhibition floor turned the conference into a buzzing arena of networking and ideas. Every corridor hummed with discussions about new partnerships, registry launches, and tech innovations that tie directly into Dubai’s broader vision of becoming a global hub for digital excellence.
This year’s edition was packed with major developments that signaled the evolution of the domain ecosystem. Among the most notable were:
- New registry–registrar partnerships announced on-site, solidifying Dubai’s position as a key regional hub for domain innovation.
- The launch of Freename’s Domora.com, a first-of-its-kind fractional ownership platform that blends blockchain technology with traditional domain investment.
- Insights from it.com Domains, one of the event’s Gold Sponsors, whose Chief Strategy Officer Joe Alagna shared practical frameworks on operating sustainable TLDs and building scalable registry businesses. With over 100,000 domains under management, it.com continues to expand its impact across the MEA and global markets.
Sessions throughout the two days explored a broad range of forward-looking themes — from domain fractionalisation and AI-driven DNS systems to the emerging new gTLD era — drawing record participation and inspiring collaborations between traditional domain institutions and emerging Web3 innovators.
The conference concluded aboard the 74-metre mega-yacht “Lotus”, where 200 VIP guests enjoyed a sunset networking experience that doubled as a statement: this industry knows how to mix business with brilliance.

Dubai didn’t just host another conference — it hosted the conference that’s fast becoming a world benchmark for what a domain industry event should look like.
