Paris ➜ Bangkok

Very happy to announce that Véronique Duong will be attending and speaking at Domain Summit Asia 2026.

I only recently met Véronique at NDD Camp in Paris, organised by our French friends David Chelly and Marc-Olivier Bernard.

We started talking about SEO, GEO, AI search, domains and Asia = and, well, now the conversation continues in Bangkok

Véronique has years of experience in international SEO, including Google, Baidu, Naver and Asian markets, and today she is also working deeply around GEO and visibility inside AI search.

At NDD Camp she was discussing something particularly relevant to us: what happens between owning a domain, building a site with AI, getting visibility in Google and LLMs, and actually monetising it.

Plenty for us to talk about in Bangkok.

Louise Wong (HKIAC / ADNDRC) joins Domain Summit Asia 2026

Another speaker I am particularly happy to have joining us in Bangkok

Louise Wong will return to Domain Summit Asia as one of our featured speakers.

Louise was already with us at Domain Summit Asia in Hong Kong last year, and I am very pleased that she will join us again — this time in Bangkok.

Louise is Special Counsel at the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC), where she leads its domain name dispute resolution work.

She is also Secretary-General of the Asian Domain Name Dispute Resolution Centre (ADNDRC).

For domain investors, this should be a particularly relevant discussion.

We spend a lot of time talking about buying domains, selling them, valuations and development.

But there is another part of the business which tends to become VERY interesting the moment it affects one of your own domains

UDRP.
Trademarks.
Legitimate interests.
Bad-faith registration.
Domain investor rights.
Previous decisions and how they influence new disputes.

Louise works directly with domain name disputes, so we will have somebody in Bangkok who can discuss these subjects from the dispute-resolution side of the table.

I think it is important that Domain Summit brings these different sides of the industry together — investors, registries, registrars, lawyers and the people actually administering domain disputes.

Very happy to announce Lars Jensen, Founder & CEO of ShortDot, for Domain Summit Asia 2026.

And there is rather a lot to ask Lars about right now

ShortDot has just revealed its portfolio for ICANN’s 2026 New gTLD Round:

40 applications and 80 proposed strings — all just three or four letters long.

ShortDot is also one of our Domain Summit Asia partners, so I am very pleased to have Lars joining us.

Another featured speaker confirmed for Bangkok

Helen Ho, CEO of @nicenic, will be speaking at Domain Summit Asia 2026.

I particularly wanted us to have a strong registrar voice in the discussions this year.

We spend plenty of time in the domain industry talking about registries, domain investors, new TLDs and aftermarket sales.

But ultimately, the registrar is where a very large part of our industry actually meets the customer.

And that business is changing.

NiceNIC is an ICANN-accredited registrar offering more than 2,500 extensions, with a substantial reseller business and increasing focus on APIs and automated domain management.

So there are some questions I would like to put to Helen in Bangkok.

What does the registrar of 2027 look like?

Will more domains be registered through APIs rather than registrar websites?

What happens when AI agents begin registering and managing domains?

What do hosting companies and domain resellers actually want from their registrar?

How different are the Asian markets?

And where is the registrar business heading as domains become increasingly programmable infrastructure?

Helen leads NiceNIC's global operations and international partnerships, so we should have somebody very well placed to discuss all of this.

I think this will be an interesting one.
