The upcoming Domain Summit Europe (formerly Domain Summit London) is undergoing a major evolution. Set for September 1–3, 2025, at London’s historic Business Design Centre, the event is part of a broader strategy to expand globally with regionally tailored content and the launch of the first Domain Summit Africa in October—signaling a decisive shift toward a more versatile, international model mail.dnjournal.com+6dnjournal.com+6DNForum+6.
🎯 Why the Venue Change Matters
Founder Helmuts Meskonis chose the Business Design Centre for its central location, capacity for up to 500 attendees, and cost-effective flexibility—unlike previous arrangements at the Hilton Metropole, which no longer matched the event’s expanding needs dnjournal.com.
A Truly European Focus
The rebrand to Domain Summit Europe reflects a commitment to local relevance: roughly 90% of speakers will be regionally based, providing deep insights into Europe’s domain market—from ccTLD trends to SEO opportunities and legal frameworks dnjournal.com+2dnjournal.com+2DNForum+2.
Global Launchpad: Africa, Asia & the Americas
The September event kicks off a global rollout. In February 2026, Domain Summit Africa will debut in Nairobi alongside Kenya’s .ke registry. Next up are Asia (with DN.com and .Asia’s collaboration) and a planned North/South America summit in 2027—tentatively outside Las Vegas or Miami—with emphasis on complementing existing industry events dnjournal.com.
