OIL AND WATER ARE MERGING IN MIAMI!! WHAT IT MEANS FOR DOMAIN INVESTORS & OTHERS. WILL YOU PARTICIPATE OR SIT ON THE SIDELINES? There are 8 billion people on Earth. Thousands of people in the domain industry saw the same opportunity. Only 55 builders raised their hands. What do those 55 builders have in common? 🌱 They recognized an opportunity. 🌱 They took action. 🌱 They did not wait for permission. 🌱 They are self-motivated. 🌱 They brought their own talents, visions and passions. 🌱 They accepted responsibility for turning possibility into reality. 🌱 They kept building while everyone else watched from the sidelines. Different people. Different countries. Different talents. Different businesses. But they share the qualities from which nearly every meaningful success begins: Vision. Initiative. Conviction. Motivation. Action. These 55 builders are the advance party. In November, the next group will come off the sidelines. For 30 years, domain investors and builders have been the oil and water of the Internet. Domain investors accumulated extraordinary digital land. Builders, engineers and technologists possessed the talent to build on it. They occupied the same Internet, but rarely shared the same language, incentives or destination. They were almost polar opposites. That is changing. OIL AND WATER ARE MERGING! @NamesCon and @CloudFest are bringing these 2 worlds together in Miami. One side controls extraordinary digital assets. The other side knows how to build, develop, and operate. For the first time, they have every reason to move into the future together. I have watched this evolution from the front row for 7 months. It did not begin this way. It revealed itself one builder at a time. The Beanstalk Challenge has already demonstrated what happens when domain assets, builders, technology, vision, sweat equity and shared economics come together. November is where the larger merger becomes visible. I have not attended an industry show since I closed T.R.A.F.F.I.C. in 2014. Why am I attending now? Because there is finally a reason to go, and it extends far beyond the Beanstalk Challenge. The domain industry has been STUCK for YEARS! It is no longer stuck!! Displacement creates opportunity. This show will not merely help determine the remainder of 2026 or even 2027. It could help determine the direction of the next 5 years. There will be two groups afterward: Those who recognize the magnitude of this merger and participate in it. And those who remain exactly where they are. For the NEXT 30 years, people will offer all kinds of reasons why they missed this moment. Some reasons will be completely valid. I get that. But if your excuse is not valid, think carefully. The train is already moving. The question is: Do you want to participate in the next phase, or watch it happen from the sidelines? #NamesCon #CloudFest #BeanstalkChallenge #Domains #DomainNames #Builders #Startups #Entrepreneurs #DigitalAssets #Technology #ArtificialIntelligence #DomainKing

This conversation explores where growth is happening, what makes Latin American markets unique, and what providers from around the world can learn from companies building there today.

Our very own Christian Dawson did an interview with our #NamesCon Media Partner, @Sullys_Blog Questions and responses inside include: ⭐ Domain investors tend to think of registrars primarily as places where we register and manage domains. From your perspective, how important are registrars to the broader Internet infrastructure ecosystem? ⭐ AI is touching almost every part of the Internet economy. Where do you think AI will have the biggest impact on domains, hosting and Internet infrastructure over the next few years? Read it here: sullysblog.com/christian-daw…

Kicking off #NamesCon and #CloudFestAmericas in Miami will be the team behind the show. CloudFest and NamesCon began with a simple premise: the boundaries that once separated hosting, cloud, domains, infrastructure, managed services, and the broader Internet economy are becoming less important. AI is accelerating that convergence-changing how businesses are built, discovered, operated, secured, and monetized, while creating new opportunities across every layer of the Internet stack. Following a fast-paced opening to the event, Christian Jaeger, Soeren von Varchmin, Christian Dawson, and Anthony Pombal sit down together for a brief preview of what lies ahead: the biggest questions shaping this year’s program, the communities coming together in Miami, and why Building What Comes Next is more than a conference theme. View the agenda: namescon.com/agenda/ Don't Forget ⚠️ Ticket Price Increase Friday, September 25!
