The 2021 NamesCon.Online conference continued Thursday (January 28) with several special events included among the full buffet of business sessions offered across multiple tracks). Those Thursday events included presentation of the Internet Commerce Association’s 5th Annual Lonnie Borck Memorial Award, NamesCon’s live domain auction, staged on the GoDaddy platform, and – midway through the auction – presentation of Escrow.com’s annual Master of Domains Awards that recognize the world’s top ten domain brokers based on total dollar volume transacted on the Escrow.com platform.
Things got started on the Keynote Track at 11am (U.S. Eastern Time) when Domain Name Wire’s Andrew Allemann interviewed CentralNic CEO Ben Crawford in an informative fireside chat (below). CentralNic has been one of the industry’s fastest growing companies over the past couple of years during which time they have made numerous acquisitions that have made them a company that everyone is paying close attention to now.
CentralNic Group Plc (LON:CNIC) provides registry services, distribution, and strategic consultancy for new TLDs, ccTLDs and SLDs.
