Specifically focused on addressing top of mind digital marketing strategy for TLD applicants and Brands, both Round 1 applicant and non-applicant alike, we have uniquely structured this year’s event to provide targeted content for each of these groups. The morning of Day One of the event will be specifically targeted towards those who did not apply for a Top Level Domain (TLD) in Round 1, while the afternoon sessions provide an opportunity for Brands, both applicant and non-applicant alike to engage in discussions that both will find valuable as we enter a new horizon in the digital landscape.

Providing an opportunity for those who are unfamiliar with the world of TLDs to get up-to-speed on the lingo of the TLD community, what opportunities a TLD can offer to an applicant, as well as insights into how one can remain competitive and current in the digital sphere in the absence of owning one’s own TLD, topics to be addressed during this portion of the event will include:
