NamesCon Joins WHD Family

i2Coalition member NamesCon has been acquired by another i2Coalition member, World Hosting Days. The i2Coalition would like to extend congratulations to these members in joining forces to provide the infrastructure industry with an enriching conference schedule.

“I have always believed that the Domain Industry is the new frontier of the internet, and I still do,” said Richard Lau, Co-founder of NamesCon. “NamesCon is the leading domain conference and needs to grow with the continuing expansion of the internet community. No one does a better job executing international internet events than WorldHostingDays, and I know that they are the perfect partner to help us grow on a global scale.”

In a joint release, the companies have stated:

NamesCon will continue on as it has since January 2014, with the next signature event scheduled for January 22 – 25, 2017, at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. With this acquisition, NamesCon will now be backed by the expertise and strength of WorldHostingDays — providing attendees and partner companies with the confidence to plan event participation years in advance.
