The 2023 NamesCon Global conference officially begins Wednesday (May 31) at the downtown Omni Hotel in Austin, Texas but a lot of attendees will be arriving throughout the day Tuesday for a variety of pre-show activities or just to get settled in and do some early networking around the lobby bar. After three full days of business sessions and special events Wednesday through Friday (including ROTD's annual live domain auction Thursday), the conference will conclude Saturday with a Fun Day filled with food, drinks and casual conversation at an Austin institution - Banger's Sausage House & Beer Garden. 

Once the conference begins the action will be non-stop every day from early morning to late at night. Since we want to cover as much as possible for our big post-show review (due out early next week) we won't be leaving the floor to post a lot while the conference is underway (see the show agenda to see all of the sessions that will be running simultaneously on two stages through most of the week). Still, we expect to drop a few photos into this column along the way as time permits, so check back here for those.!

If you have already registered, we are looking forward to seeing you in Austin! If you haven't gotten tickets, it's not too late - you can still register here. While NamesCon's block of rooms at the Omni has sold out, they have made arrangements with the nearby Hyatt Centric Austin hotel to give attendees a convenient home base of the show. You use this link to book there.
