NamesCon
NamesCon has become an event most (new) Registries attend, and the reason for this is simple: it is where Premium domain names are sold to investors. It also gives a good visibility to domain names with potential. Many domainers attend this conference but not only... Registrars attend too, even the ICANN sends its speakers.
Don't like domaining ?
Think twice. Major Corporations buy Premium domains - with a meaning - because they have understood the potential of a generic domain names. The reason why I believe that keeping an eye on these auctions is a must do for Trademarks is because...speaking as a consumer...

A new auction for ".club" domain names
The Registry has already been very successful offering Premium domain names: wine.club was sold for $140.000,00. Many other .club domain names were sold during various auctions on several platforms.

Football.club
This domain name, like many sports ".club" domain names, won't be for sale during this auction but I'd suggest any representative of any sport to do the test: try to enter the name of a sport in your browser and add ".club" in the end. See what happens ;-)
