Awesome ideas Bob! My first recommendation would be for you to be an advisor, at minimum.This idea has been rumbling around my head for some time, and glad someone took the step of seeing if there was interest.
I know that conferences have to not lose money, but would hope that it is a reasonable registration price.
Re location, I would see it as working best on some sort of rotating location with different countries in different years.
Would love to see it live streamed for those who can not attend, and maybe interactive video for some sessions.
I think a panel of respected people from community should guide the selection of speakers, topics, etc.
Would love to see key companies involved, but it should clearly be a NPs organized event independent of the registries, registrars, and other companies.
It might make sense to have it as a conference of conferences (all in same place and in times one after the other). e.g. with a segment (half day or something) on brandables, a segment on analysis of trends, one on practical techniques for negotiating and selling, one on legal aspects of domains, etc. People could choose which they attended.
Ideally the conference would heighten the profile and stature of domain investing. Having a TedX kind of event in conjunction with it, with some inspirational futuristic speakers would be good.

Absolutely, it should be a community effort. That is the appeal.I don't unthank often, but considering it for your post (just joking).
I think there are tons of great people who would have interest in helping. I think it would be good to have a mix of some of the builders of domains from way back and some newer to the field, and a balance from different countries. I wish women were more prominent on NPs, I know a few are, and we should be sure to have both genders, many cultures, different ages, full time and part time, etc. somehow represented in the voices that guide it, if it happens.
One huge advantage is it would start with such an active site (NPs) that I think inherently it could be much bigger than the conferences organized either by small groups or companies (not that I mean to replace those).

Personally, I don't drink and domain anymore. Just too dangerous.I would be happy with just a NP members meet up at a pub.
Haha yeah we've all been there.Personally, I don't drink and domain anymore. Just too dangerous.
So it's a NamePros meetup at the Namescon convention. Very cool.This Year's NP Convention will be at the Fine Irishmen Sunday the 27th of January at 5pm

I'm in the U.K so agree with this 100%The idea of convention is very nice, would be great to meet in person with many people here.
Just make sure you do something in Europe as well so I can travel easily as well, not everything needs to be in US, imo

Somehow I missed this thread before. Great idea. I like the tedx style convention idea a lot. Would love to have something like that, EU based. Might be Amsterdam, might be Berlin. Get DAN involved.
I don't care for a monetary gain (live auctions and the sorts) but meeting up would be cool. Acquiring knowledge and get input from like-minded people would be my main objective.
Maybe now is not the ideal timing because of Corona but I definitely wouldn't mind participating and hosting a local (Dutch) convention. Could definitely see this work. Something to keep in mind for sure!
Corona, If anything?
gives Namepros more time to prepare.
I hope @RJ hear us. What about @Mod Team Alfa @Mod Team Bravo @Mod Team Echo @Mod Team Foxtrot? When we will see Namepros Convention?
