  • A twin-track educational conference, including keynotes, traditional session formats, and practical as well as forward-looking workshops
  • An exhibition area featuring all the companies that will develop, run and promote new parts of the domain name system
  • Networking events that foster dialogue between entrepreneurs, infrastructure specialists, venture capitalists, press, analysts, and development executives.

  • Registrars
  • New gTLD applicants
  • gTLD consultants
  • Online marketers

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 either:
    • Using our e-commerce sponsorship webpage where you can pay and be invoiced immediately (note: this option only available for items $5,000 or less), or
    • Emailing your choices, or asking us any questions at sponsor@dot-nxt.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Step One:

Sponsorship options

   
  By sponsoring lunch, your company’s name and logo will be on display at one of the highest trafficked areas. You company will have exposure to a hungry and very appreciative audience! Your company’s name and logo will also be listed in the program agenda.
   
 
   
  All the features of the normal booth but located in a prime spot so you are guaranteed to be seen by attendees. First come, first served until the best spots are filled.
  [There are very few premium spots available. So if you want one of them - book it now and in minutes!]
   
   
   
  The 8x10 booth provides a great opportunity to make yourself seen and known to attendees, and so provide them with information about your company and your plans.
  [It's first come, first served so book early and get closer to the front!]
   
  There are several 30-minute coffee breaks where you can prominently display your company’s name and logo on display boards where attendees congregate and network.
  [Secure your spot today, and choose which break on which day you want to sponsor]
   
   
  There are 8 sessions, each dedicated to a pressing topic with industry leading experts. Your company’s name and logo will be displayed in front and center. It will also appear next to the session in the meeting brochure and online agenda.
  [Very popular given their specialist nature. Secure yours now!

  Have your promotional item delivered directly to the rooms of the attendees at the hotel. Think of it as a huge, shiny mint on the pillow.
   
   
  We have reserved conference rooms for private discussions. Each room can be reserved on half-day intervals.
  [If you're looking to make some deals at .nxt, we recommend booking a private room asap]
   
  A brochure, a special offer collateral, or a trinket. You decide what you want the attendees to take home!
