What opportunities are in the domain names industry?

What is Domain Summit 2024?
Domain Summit is an annual B2B convention for the Domain Name industry, including Registrars, Domain investors, Hosting companies, domain resellers, domain auction platforms, domain brokers, escrow services, various domain name management tools and services, and more.
Attending the event will increase the attention of established companies servicing the domain name industry. These companies’ clients will note their absence from this essential industry event.
With a growing focus on the UK, Europe, and beyond, the London Domain Summit offers a gateway to forging new international business connections and learning about the latest best practices in the domain name industry.

Why Should You Attend the Domain Summit 2024?
Attending the Domain Summit is a prime and unique platform for networking, learning opportunities, actionable strategies, and workshops.
Check below a couple of reasons why you should attend the Domain Summit:
Networking opportunities
The event will start with an exclusive offsite event on Monday, August 19th, and an evening celebrating .com domains. This is available by invitation only.
Additionally, there will be numerous opportunities to connect with other attendees, sponsors, speakers, and potential partners through dedicated networking sessions and a vibrant event atmosphere.
I always emphasize the importance of networking and the benefits of meeting, exchanging ideas, and doing business with like-minded individuals. At Domain Summit, you can meet entrepreneurs, specialists, decision-makers, and investors who can scale your business tenfold.
Learning opportunities
Besides the networking opportunities, you should also consider the learning opportunities, as many domain industry veterans will share insights and actionable information.
On August 20th and 21st, you can dive deep into the latest industry trends and insights through a comprehensive program of informative sessions and workshops. Gain valuable knowledge from domain name experts, thought leaders, and successful entrepreneurs.
You can also ask questions at round tables and get detailed answers to help you implement your ideas. Conferences like Domain Summit London are places where insights are shared.
Workshops
The interactive workshops empower you to translate knowledge into action. You will be able to develop practical strategies and techniques to elevate your domain expertise and propel your business forward.
The workshops and AMAs are excellent ways to translate knowledge into actionable insights, helping you transform and improve your business. On August 22, Steven Wright held the first AMA about selling your website.
Then, Ryan De Corsie Ewen will host a discussion panel about domain parking, and Munir Badr from AEServer will host another panel about hosting and domain names.
The last workshop, on domain names and SEO, was held by Kalin Karakehayov from SEO.Domains and me.
And if those reasons are not enough for you, there is still plenty of awesome swag like stickers, t-shirts, and other gifts from the companies that exhibit at Domain Summit and the organizers:
The Location of Domain Summit 2024
Domain Summit will take place at the Admiral Suite of the Hilton London Metropole. The organizer has divided this grand ballroom into two large, convenient rooms that can host up to 350 people.
Speaking of food, the dedicated team of experienced Chefs will carefully curate dishes using the best seasonal produce, creating bespoke menus that tick all your ultimate foodie dreams boxes.
Every space in the hotel features subtle hints of historic London areas, illustrated through design, architecture, or cuisine. Greenwich’s deep-rooted naval origins inspire the Admiral Suite. Look closely, and you’ll see subtle expressions of waves, sails, and maritime textures woven into the design.

Domain Summit 2024 Review
Domain Summit 2024 was a blast, setting new standards in tech conferences featuring intelligent people, excellent knowledge, a goal-focused approach, friendly networking, and lavish parties and dinners. Check some of the pictures to see for yourself:
Guide: How to make the most of your presence
Here are five tips I’ve learned from attending numerous digital marketing conferences. I suggest checking them and applying if you want to make the most of your presence at the Domain Summit 2024:
- Set the goals you want to reach. Do you want to network, learn, establish new partnerships, or meet existing partners? Ensure you have one or two goals to focus on and achieve.
- Plan your essential meetings. The app allows you to see the list of attendees, speakers, and exhibitors and contact them to schedule an appointment. Sometimes, things can get chaotic during the conference, so you will miss a lot if you don’t arrange the meetings.
- Be cheerful and willing to learn. Attitude is always critical and can make a vast difference in outcomes. I recommend being positive, glad to meet new people, and ready to learn more and discover new things.
- Select the essential tracks and those you want to use. As the list of tracks is available, you can select the ones you want to participate in. If you have more people on your team, you can choose which tasks to assign to cover as much as possible.
- Follow up soon. It’s essential to start the follow-ups a few days after the event. Otherwise, people will need to remember who you are or will engage in other partnerships. Please make sure you begin follow-up early to maximize outcomes.
Conclusion
Overall, the Domain Summit is NOT just another conference but a cornerstone hub of the domaining industry. It brings together industry leaders and newcomers, offering a platform for innovation, learning, and growth.
You will meet and learn from Suitable Registrars, Domain Investors, Hosting Companies, Domain Auction Platforms, Domain Brokers, Escrow Services, Domain Management Tools, Agents, Consultants, Developers, Investors, and Organizations.
