Get ready for the slowest two weeks of the year.
This is when most of the U.S. checks out, either on vacation or trying to squeeze in a few more summer moments before school and the fall grind return. Businesses tighten up, spending slows down (unless you’re in back-to-school or travel), and the rest is just coast and prep mode.
On another note, I shared this yesterday on X and wanted to repeat it here, not to knock anyone’s hard work putting on domain conferences, but because it’s been a long time since anything truly changed.
I may be the only one saying it publicly, but I’ve gotten dozens of DMs saying, “Glad you said it.”
No domain conference has ever asked me to speak or give ideas, but I’m going to anyway. Here’s what I’d do:
- Stop the recycled talks. We’ve heard the same people and stories for over a decade. Bring in new voices—people like @dharmesh or CEOs with fresh, relevant insight.
- Make it social. Host lunch tables with known names in the space. First come, first served, but once full, let people bid for spots. Proceeds can go to charity or fund a speaker.
- Cut the music at happy hour. Let people actually talk domains without yelling over a DJ.
- Add entertainment. Bring in a comedian, magician, speaker, someone we’ll actually remember.
- Take a page from VeeCon. Just 5% of what Gary Vee pulls off would dramatically upgrade most events.
- Record a live Domain Sherpa. Not just an auction preview—give people something real-time and interactive.
- Offer side events. Like ICA does. People don’t just come for the talks—they want to see the city. Build it into the schedule and price.
Have a great day and weekend
