Upcoming Events

Afilias is a Gold Sponsor of the upcoming ICANN Conference in San Jose, Costa Rica.  Afilias will be co-hosting the Music Night event with .ORG!  Stop by on Tuesday night to enjoy some good music!

To schedule a meeting with one of our experts to discuss New TLDs, please email us.

On January 12, 2012, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will open a process that could trigger a dramatic expansion of the Internet and launch a new era of online innovation. We are familiar with .com, .org, .net, among the roughly two dozen generic top-level domains currently occupying the Internet's addressing system. Hundreds, possibly thousands of new gTLDs, could be moving in within a year.

The program is not without risks and not for everyone. Understanding the marketing opportunities, the application process, and the program's built-in trademark protections is important even if a new gTLD is not for you.

Moderator: Naseem Javed, ABC Namebank

Panelists: Rod Beckstrom, President and CEO, ICANN; Roland LaPlante, Senior VP and CMO, Afilias; and Kristina Rosette, Special Counsel, Covington & Burling.

Afilias is a Silver Sponsor of the upcoming NDSS Symposium 2012 in San Diego, California. This will be the 19th Annual Network & Distributed System Security Symposium.

Network security technologies must respond to ever more complex issues and malicious behaviors. The purpose of NDSS is to bring the global Internet community together to learn about and discuss cutting-edge advances in the science and application of network and distributed systems security. The three day program features refereed paper presentations, punctuated by selected invited talks on security as it is applied in the field.
