    NiceNIC will be attending ICANN87 in Bali, Indonesia, from 17 to 22 October 2026.
    Our Founder, May Fung, and CEO, Helen H., are planning to be there, and we would be glad to meet others from the domain community during the event.
    For us, ICANN meetings are a good chance to meet people across the domain industry, registries, registrars, resellers, domain investors, DNS providers, and partners we may not usually get to meet face to face.
    This year, we are especially interested in hearing how others are thinking about:
    1. registrar and registry cooperation
    2. reseller and channel development
    3. domain transfer and renewal operations
    4. customer trust and support
    5. changes in the global domain market
    If you are also planning to attend ICANN87, it would be good to connect in Bali.
    Who else here is going?

    Yes! Luckily Bali is pretty close to us as well.

    The older I get, the less willing I am to fly. The other day I counted up my flights and realized I've flown about 25 times, half of them internationally. You'd have to pay me serious money to fly to Bali. From Florida, it's around 28 hours, if everything goes perfectly. I'd rather die.

    NZ to Paris is a big one as well, but at least you are looking forward to it.

    Totally understand! 28 hours from Florida is a serious trip.
