Now that the new top level domain name program is “approved”, it’s time to get down to business.

Two upcoming conferences will help applicants and service providers do just that.

Next month .nxt returns to San Francisco August 24-26. The event debuted earlier this year under the leadership of former ICANN staffer Kieren McCarthy. Conference passes are available for $695 and hotel rooms at the event venue InterContinental San Francisco are $189 per night.

Those interested in new TLDs on the other side of the pond will get a conference closer to home in September. The long-titled “newdomains.org – The Munich Conference on new TLDs” takes place September 26-27. Show organizers just announced that Stephen Crocker, the new chairman of the ICANN board, will keynote the conference. Full conference passes are EUR 699. Hotel rooms at the venue are EUR 378, but less expensive accommodations are available in the area.
