CentralNic at NamesCon Global 2022

The first onsite NamesCon Global event after two years of the pandemic, has seamlessly continued the former successes. More than 1,000 attendees traveled to Austin, Texas to discuss the latest developments, hot topics and to engage with the forces that shape the domain-name economy and beyond. NamesCon Global brought together the domain investors and service providers who build and grow the digital asset industry – from governing and managing bodies to channels and service providers; from strategic investors to the end customer.

CentralNic once again was a proud Platinum Partner this year. We had a great visibility at the event, thanks to our big, eye-catching exhibition booth, a big branded banner wall in the session area along with our expert team having the pleasure of participating in two talks.

Pavel Rzeszucinski and Kelly Hardy on “The Brussels Effect”

Pawel Rzeszucinski, our Head of Data and AI and Kelly Hardy, our Head of Policy, Registry Services have been running a Keynote session on "The Brussels Effect", coined to reflect the fact that the European Union is a truly global regulatory power. Take GDPR for example: created to protect only EU citizens, its impact was profound globally. The newest legislation - the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act might have similar effects on many business domains, including ours. This talk outlined the planned changes and gave tips on how to stay up-to-date with the inevitable.

Adam Wagner shares insights on how to monetize domain traffic

Adam Wagner, Manager at our Domainparking portal ParkingCrew joined a panel that brought together the masters of domain traffic. In a one-hour discussion they shared insights on how to take advantage of the dynamics shaping this cornerstone of domain investing by examining real-life expiring names and how to make them active in one’s domain portfolios

CentralNic having a strong on-site presence

We featured CentralNic and our brands most relevant to the conference attendees, including our reseller brands HEXONET and RRPproxy, our Domainparking portal ParkingCrew, CentralNic Registry, our retail portal Moniker, and the corporate portal BrandShelter.

We had a team of 20 experts on site to take care of visitors who were not yet familiar with CentralNic, including its brands and products. After almost two years of abstinence, we finally had the opportunity to meet our customers and partners in person again. It was great seeing so many familiar faces at the event!

ParkingCrew offers drinks with a spectacular view

One of our personal highlights of this year's NamesCon was the ParkingCrew Rooftop Party, which offered great cocktails and a spectacular view over the rooftops of Downtown Austin. The perfect place to catch up with old friends or make new ones, to build strong relationships and strategic partnerships. We are delighted to have spent a wonderful evening with so many fantastic guests.
