DomainerExpo 2026 Agenda

Opening Welcome

Host Ish Milly opens the conference. Year-ahead framing, what's at stake, who's in the room.

The State of Domain Investing

The big-picture setup. Where the market is, where capital is flowing, what's broken, what's working. The lens through which the rest of the conference makes sense.

The New Domain Investor

A panel of operators who entered the market in the last 3 years. Why they got in, what they bought first, what they wish they knew. Who the next decade of buyers actually is.

State of Domain Parking

Honest assessment of parking revenue in 2026. What's still working, what's gone obsolete, and what the AI / agentic web does to the parking model.

New ICANN-Approved TLDs

Walk-through of recently approved namespaces, the application round underway, and how to evaluate new TLDs as investment-grade vs noise.

Session TBA

Speaker and topic to be announced.

Anatomy of the Deal

Real case studies. How premium domain deals actually get structured, negotiated, financed, and closed in 2026. The math, the terms, the parties at the table.

Networking Dinner

Open to all in-person attendees. Connect with fellow investors, operators, and speakers over dinner.

Day 2 Opening

Domain Tokenization

On-chain ownership, fractional shares, liquidity pools, and what tokenization actually changes about how domains are priced, held, and traded.

Domain Names in the Agentic Web Era

What happens when AI agents become the primary consumers of the internet — not humans typing URLs. How agent-discoverability changes domain valuation, why some assets get more valuable and some collapse.

Appraisal Tools: Are They Effective?

An honest look at the domain appraisal landscape — AI-powered tools, broker estimates, comparables-based models, and gut instinct. What the data actually says about accuracy, where the tools fail, and how top investors make valuation calls in 2026.

The Power of Subdomains

The most underdiscussed alpha in the industry. Why subdomains are emerging as a separate asset class, who's stacking them, and what the secondary market looks like.

AI Websites

How instant AI-built sites change what a domain is worth. New monetization paths for parked names, new flip strategies, what end-user buyers expect a domain to come with in 2026.

Session TBA

Speaker and topic to be announced.

How to Secure Your Ideal Domain Name

Tactical session. Identifying acquisition targets, contact research, opening offers, escrow + transfer process, what to do when the owner won't sell.

The Future of Domain Investing

Where is the industry headed over the next 5 years? AI, Web3, new TLDs, agentic web, and the macro forces reshaping what domains are worth — and to whom.
