Put yourself front and center of the Internet’s next revolution with a presence at the .Nxt conference. Your name and brand will be seen by all attendees at our third conference focusing on new Internet extensions—gTLDs—as well as the broader issue of Internet governance.
.Nxt brings together representatives from across the domain name industry, as well as new gTLD registrants, brand owners, government representatives, policy
specialists, academics and analysts, and the media for three days. For the first time, it will be held in London, just steps from the world famous Victoria Station at
the Park Plaza Victoria.
This is a golden opportunity to reach out to those designing and building the future of the Internet as well as connect with important debates about the future of
domain names and the Internet itself. The conference comprises three main elements:
- An educational component, including keynotes, traditional session formats, industry panels and practical, forward-looking workshops
- An exhibition area featuring the companies that will develop, run and promote new parts of the domain name system
- Networking events that foster dialogue between all attendees
Who should sponsor .Nxt?
- gTLD applicants
- Internet infrastructure companies
- Domain name specialists and consultants
- Marketers
- Anyone interested in reaching those at the cutting edge of the Internet infrastructure industry
Most conferences ask sponsors to buy a set sponsorship package. We understand that every organization is unique and has its own reasons for becoming a sponsor. .Nxt provides sponsors with a list of options to choose from so you can build the perfect sponsorship package for your organization.
Sponsorship approach
We have a three-step approach for sponsor and exhibitors:
- STEP ONE: Choose from the many options below those you feel best fit your company's needs. (Please note: some are limited in number and allocated as first come, first served.)
- STEP TWO: Add up the total cost of your sponsorship package and use that figure to identify which kind of sponsor you are - Silver, Gold or Platinum. Each sponsorship level comes with additional benefits (see below).
- STEP THREE: Secure your sponsorship choices by contacting us at sponsor@dot-nxt.com
Step One:
Sponsorship options
|
|
Place a full-color advertisement in the conference program. A program will be provided to every attendee. This is a prime spot to promote your message to a large audience as it’s the go to piece for all conference information.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
This is your brochure, a special offer collateral, trinket—or whatever else you want attendees to receive in their conference bag. You are free to include whatever you wish, so long as it fits in the bag (10in x 10in x 1in), and does not clash with other sponsorship items, i.e. no t-shirts or notebookand-pens. There is a limit of two items per company.
You also have the option of choosing instead to have the item delivered directly to attendees’ hotel rooms. There is a limit of one item per company for the room drop.
|
|
| |
|
|
| Your company’s name and logo will be displayed front and center for the duration of one session. Your name and logo will also appear next to the session in the conference program and online, with a link to your own editable sponsor page. |
| |
|
|
Everybody needs coffee, so during the breaks between sessions, attendees will head straight to this area to fuel up. As attendees mill about, talking and networking and queuing for refreshments, you will be able to prominently display your company’s name and logo on boards beside them as well as on each to-go coffee cup. You can also promote the break—and we will too, in the conference program and online.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Everyone loves a t-shirt! And this is a great opportunity to have your name and logo paraded on everyone’s back both at the conference and for years afterwards.The default color for the T-shirt is white, but if you prefer a different color, we will be happy to work with you on it.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Your company’s name and logo will be printed on the notebooks and pens distributed at all conference sessions. They will be remembered long after the conference, so there is an unbeatable recall rate for your advertising dollars.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Walk into any of the main session rooms and you will see your logo repeated on the back of every chair with our unique chair-cover sponsorship. If you want wall-to-wall coverage—literally—this is the sponsorship option for you. All we need is a high-resolution logo and we’ll take care of the rest.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
As the last session of the conference, this summarizing panel discussion will draw out what has been learned over the course of the conference, highlighting lessons, information, perspectives and details that stood out. It is one of the most wellattended sessions of the conference. Sponsorship of this session will see your company’s name and logo displayed front and center. Your name and logo will also appear next to the session in the conference program and in the online agenda.
|
|
| |
|
|

An exhibit booth provides the greatest opportunity to get yourself seen, make yourself known to attendees and provide them with information about your company and your plans.
We have two types of booths: standard and premium. Standard booths measure 6ft x 6ft; premium booths are 8ft x 8ft. Premium booths will be located in the most highly trafficked areas for the duration of the conference. Each booth includes:
- Backwall drape
- A 3-foot side-rail drape
- One 6-foot draped table
- Two side chairs
- One wastebasket
- Power supply
- One-line, black-on-white identification sign
We will email a full exhibitor guide to the address you provide, including set-up and take-down times and details for shipping supplies.

|
|
|
Every attendee receives a conference bag, and your company’s logo will appear on each and every one. This sponsorship option provides extraordinary visibility and extends brand awareness far beyond attendees or the conference. Only one company can appear on the conference bag; choose this option now to make sure it’s yours. The bag sponsor also receives one free additional item to add to the bag.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Once the conference ends, we will host a relaxed farewell reception with treats and coffee. This has proven to be one of the most popular events at past .Nxt conferences with attendees relaxing and chatting with one another before heading back home. As sponsor, your name and logo will be prominently featured on the food displays, cocktails tables and cocktail napkins. Your name and logo will also be included on the website and conference program.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
The keynotes boast the highest attendance and the most media. Your company’s name and logo will be projected on the screen while attendees are getting settled in their seats and waiting for the speaker. Your name and logo will also appear in the meeting brochure, on the website and on a room signage board. You will introduce the keynote speaker and have five minutes to address the group.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
The essentials at an Internet conference are chairs, coffee and a connection to the Internet. Earn the gratitude—and immediate attention—of every attendee by sponsoring the wireless network for the entire conference. The sponsorship includes a custom branded SSID and network password (password limited to ten characters). Get your marketing message to every attendee by getting them to choose your company name as a network and literally type your message in on their laptops.
Your will also be prominently featured in the conference program, with your name, logo and SSID and password details.

|
|
| |
|
|
|
By sponsoring lunch, your company’s name and logo will be on display at the highest trafficked area of the conference. Your company will have exposure to a hungry and very appreciative audience! Your company name and logo will also be listed in the program agenda and on the website.
|
|
