NamesCon started off with many arriving the day, or days, before. Some took in the local sites and casinos, and some just rested from their long trips from their home lands. We had dinner with some fellow domainers at il Forino’s MGM hotel, followed by a couple drinks in the Lobby Bar with other domainers. Here’s some pics of things that took place.

Though there were many mini-sessions on the first day, Sunday, we went to the Affiliate Summit Conference at the Paris Hotel, which was going on at the same time. We’re looking to start utilizing some of our domains and were able to meet with a good couple prospects for our interests. This conference was packed, and it was only the first day.

The crowded Meet Market session was a hit at Affiliate Summit.

When we got back, most sessions had ended, but the Networking Lane had turned into a big networking chat fest.

Then it was time for the opening networking party, sponsored by Rightside.

And of course for those late owler domainers, more late night partying and networking.

It was a great first day, and the energy and excitement from this huge crowd was a foreshadow of what a great show lies ahead.

Oh yeah, contrary to rumors, Elvis is not only ‘not dead’, but attends domain conferences!

Me and the King.

Happy Domaining!
