DomainX 2019 – Another year, Another Successful Domaining Event

DomainX 2019

DomainX is one of the first and most celebrated Domaining Event in India, that’s being held every year since 2014.

This was my third time participation at the DomainX event that happened this year on the 3rd and 4th of August, 2019 at Eros Hotel, New Delhi.

The participants included Domainers, Entrepreneurs, Companies and people related to the Domain Names / Cloud / Web Hosting Industry from all over India and abroad, also people representing Indian and International organizations.

The 6th edition of the annual DomainX conference at the Eros Hotel  was slightly different from its earlier editions, primarily because it was a Two day show.

The First day of the event, August 03 2019 was Conference that included Panels for “Will this Sell” section and “Why Domain Names are Important”. I was a speaker for both the Panels and contributed my best from my experiences in Domaining spanning the last two decades.

And they did it again …. I attended the DomainX 2018 held at Shangri-La Hotel, New Delhi on August 5th, 2018.

It was an amazing show organized by Manmeet Pal Singh, Gaurav Kohli and the rest of their team.

Would like to quote John Ruskin here, Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort.

I attended DomainX last year in 2017 too.

The DomainX 2018 had an Intriguing list of Speakers lined up for the event, including – Michael Bereslavsky of DomainMagnate.com, Samiran Gupta (Head of ICANN in India), Rodney D. Ryder (IP Adviser, Government of India) and so on. I also met with representatives from various Global companies who attended the DomainX 2018 like DynaDot, GoDaddy, Connect Reseller, etc.

We all have heard and most of us have attended popular domain name industry conferences like TRAFFIC, NamesCon and DomainFest but DomainX is a first timer for a country like India and it sounds very interesting. India’s very own domain name conference!

My experiences from DomainX 2017, New Delhi

The DomainX 2017, held at New Delhi on August 05, 2017 featured plenty of standard fare, from keynotes by industry leaders and deep dives into hot topics, to interactive panels with professionals from both inside and outside the domain industry.

For me it was a very engaging experience because of these 3 facts:

1. This was the first time ever that I attended an Exclusive Domaining event that happened in India.

2. Since 1999, I had been doing this all alone – Searching Domains, Registering Domains, Putting them on Sale, Checking Sales of others, reading Blogs and Tips from fellow domainers (mostly based out of India). This was first time I had a first hand interaction with Domainers from India and I bet their experience and knowledge is No Less than any other Domainers based out of India.

3. Well, this one came as a complete surprise to me when they announced my name on the stage – I won an award for the “DomainX .in evangelist of the year 2016-2017“. Its an awesome feeling, to get recognized for your hard work. As for me, I am working and will keep working for the betterment of community.

We all know that Buying domains is easy but selling the right domain at the right price to the perfect buyer is an art. This year’s DomainX was focused upon Selling of Domains, adhering with the copyright/trademark issues, developing domains into great web properties and many more interesting and productive topics.
