NamesCon

These are the NamesCon sessions I will be attending

NamesCon 2017 is kicking off on Sunday 22nd of January, 2017 at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas.

These are the NamesCon sessions and various events I will be attending. I may go to some more if I have the time. I am sorry I won’t be seeing a few more sessions.

It is really tough to choose between concurrent sessions. I am using the must have NamesCon app which I already wrote about here to keep me on schedule.

  1. What’s the verdict? I only went to 1 session at NamesCon. Forgot to ask you, while there, which of the sessions you caught was the most interesting.

  2. Perhaps none, Joseph. Would be interested to see a decent write up but not found one yet.
