Should I attend -NamesCon conference?

[Rubber Duck]

The purpose of the Masterclass (which will repeat sessions multiple times throughout the conference to make it easier for everyone to attend) is to educate predominantly western domain name investors about the large and expanding domain name market in China, and how those investors can invest in Chinese Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) without knowing a word of Chinese.

You want to give the class or attend ?

i think this sounds like it is from the .在线(idn for ONLINE in chinese) guys. they are promoting this over and over again but the truth is if IDNs in China should ever become popular it WILL NOT be .在线 domains. the fact they they need to promote this to western investors shows that there is not enough demand for their extension in China

They know they can potentially get some nice cash flow from speculators, especially those that like the 'new' gTLDS maybe a few will give a fling for some keywords .在线

Most Chinese aren't even aware of IDN, so its still a mid to long term waiting game IMO.

No.

[clipper]

No.

Why?

Because you have no faith in RD's acumen, or because you want to keep acquiring before the real investors get involved?

Maybe they should hold the masterclass in China instead. Educating China on the use of IDNs
