Domain Days Dubai 2024 Set to Break Records with Expanded Global Audience and Sold-Out Sponsorships

Dubai, UAE – The second annual Domain Days Dubai is poised to surpass expectations as it returns for its 2024 edition, bringing together domain industry leaders and digital professionals from around the globe.

After receiving rave reviews for last year's inaugural event, Domain Days Dubai has quickly become the go-to conference for those in the growing MEA region and beyond.

This year's event will be held on November 5-6 at the prestigious Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, surpassing last year's turnout of attendees, speakers, and sponsors.

With just 20 days to go, Founder Munir Badr expressed his excitement about the upcoming event:

"We already have 225+ attendees registered, with 40 speakers confirmed for a jam-packed two-day agenda. The response from the sponsors has been incredible, with over 30 companies supporting the conference. In fact, all of our premium sponsorship slots, no airtime on the agenda is left too."

The Right of the Dot Domain x Days Dubai Digital Asset Online Auction will highlight the event, offering a unique opportunity for domain investors and digital asset enthusiasts to participate in an exclusive auction. The auction features premium domain names and digital assets that have the potential to yield significant value for investors and businesses alike. 

Two primary factors drive the increased attendance at Domain Days Dubai 2024:

• the positive word-of-mouth following last year's debut edition and
• the strategic timing of ICANN 81, which takes place from November 9-14 in Istanbul.

Many attendees plan to stay in Dubai before flying to ICANN's global meeting, further boosting the event's international reach.

"At least 50 people have told me they're extending their stay in Dubai for a few extra days to attend both Domain Days and ICANN," Munir shared.

Domain Days Dubai 2024 will attract diverse participants, including domain investors, registrars, registries, leaders in monetization and traffic, Web3 domains, hosting and cloud providers, SaaS companies, and other industry enthusiasts. The conference will offer invaluable networking opportunities and insights for all who attend.

Domain Days Dubai 2024  Travel Information    Just a few days left until we meet in Dubai! To ensure smooth arrival & travel to and from the event venue, we have gathered all the important information & tips in this email.  The nearest airport is Dubai International (DXB). Your flight will most probably arrive at terminal 3. If you arrive in another city (Abu Dhabi or Sharjah) its around 60-70 km away.  The easiest and most efficient way to commute in Dubai is using the Dubai taxi service. All taxis in Dubai are metered and you can pay with cash and credit card (know your rights - your trip is free if the meter is not operated or if the driver refuses to accept the credit card).  Taxi apps are available in Dubai, you can use Uber and Careem super app. You can even book a normal taxi via this app (Hala Taxi).  The venue hotel is called: Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah, located at the Palm Jumeirah Island.  The venue hotel is located around 35kms from the DXB airport and the trip time would usually take 25-35 minutes. Google Maps link to the hotel.  The taxi/uber ride would usually cost you around AED 110-140 ($30-40) from the airport. It will cost you less on the way back around AED 90-110 ($25-33).  Dubai and the UAE are ranked among the safest cities on the planet. You can be out at 3am in the morning and no one will bother you. It's also safe to leave your belongings and feel comfortable anywhere you go. However staying cautious is still recommended.  You can buy a local sim-card at the airport, there are a few mobile operators in the UAE such as du, virgin mobile & etisalat. Most offer a free sim to tourists.  Credit cards (visa, mastercard, amex, union pay), Apple Pay, etc are widely accepted in the UAE, virtually everywhere.  The UAE currency is UAE Dirham (AED) and it is pegged to the US dollar at the rate of 1 USD = 3.67 AED. Alcoholic beverages are available at all licensed restaurants and bars at hotels and other venues. Legal age is 18.  UAE is a tolerant country. The majority of the population are expats and there are over 190+ nationalities living in harmony.  The weather in Dubai is fantastic during the month of November. Its around 35 C during the day and 25 C at night. The sea temperature is 31 C these days - perfect for a dip after a long day at the conference! It gets cooler in the evenings with a fresh breeze. A light hoodie or a jacket might be needed but not essential. Here are a few tips to stay on the right side of the law:  Refrain from using abusive words and hand signs with anyone as this can get you into legal trouble.  Do not take pictures of other people without their consent.  Local Emergency Numbers: Police: 999 Questions?

Domain Days Dubai 2024 ended after two full days of speeches, networking, and awesome vibes! Check out my quick recap outlining the speeches that I attended.

Dr Marwan Alzarouni and Afra Bin Fares offered insights about the Digital Dubai agenda, which includes developing future technologies based on AI, Blockchain, and CyberSec. They also invited companies to explore the benefits of coming to and innovating in Dubai.

Mohammed Ismail Khamis Al Falasi Al Falasi also offered insights about .ae domain registration, which has passed over 350K registrations, and invited companies to partner.

Christopher Niemi from Markmonitor explained the benefits for companies of owning their own TLD .brand and what’s the application process.

Vaughn Liley and Kyrylo Medvediev gave insights about owning a .link domain.

Tess Diaz from ITcom, Kamila S. from ICA, Selina Bieber from GoDaddy, and Natalija Japerte, also from IT.com, held a nice panel regarding women who are pioneers and innovators in the tech world.

The first panel about doing business in the arab world had Bashar Al-Abdulhadi from KUWAITNET, Sami Ali from TRA Bahrain, Wahid Aziz from tasjeel.ae, Leonid Todorov from APTLD and Aboulfeth Hamza from Genious.net outlining opportunities that emerge in the ME space.

The second panel was about selling premium domains. Adel alTerkait, Ayoub Kehel, Monte Cahn, Braden Pollock, and Giuseppe G. offered valuable tips about evaluating domains, determining which one has the potential to sell, and more.

Next, Mark Ghoriafi, and Dave Evanson from SEDO, spoke about domain brokerage, buyers, sellers, and their differences.

The final panel on the first day was about AI, WEB3, and new domains. Fred Hsu, Darpan Munjal, CEO at @Atom, Elias Rendón Benger, CEO at InternetX, and Tess Diaz, director at ITcom, offered tips and advice about what's next in tech.

The second day of Domain Days Dubai started with a panel discussion of the UAE as a strategic gateway to Africa as an emerging market.

Sandy Carter COO at Unstoppable Domains, a leading voice in technology, AI, and blockchain, spoke about bridging WEB2 and WEB3 domains and gaining both benefits.

Hassan Al Lawati addressed the recent evolving changes in the landscape of DMARC, SPF, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, and recent attack trends.

At 12:30, Monte Cahn started the digital auction, and we all witnessed the sale of domain names ranging from $1k to multiple hundred Ks to the bidders in the room.

The last conf session was about M&As in MEA, during which Michael Osterlohand offered tips on expanding and purchasing hosting companies in Africa.

After that, we went on a nice boat trip, where good food and vibes facilitated more relaxed networking.

Thank you, Munir Badr, Ruslana Badr, Jason Nickerson, and James Williams, who did a great job as a master of ceremonies! You raised the bar for the domain conferences! hashtag#DomainDaysDubai
