Singapore, June 4, 2019 /DN Journal/ — China’s 2019 Global Digital Summit wrapped up over the weekend at the Swiss Hotel in Xiamen (a city known as the “domain capital” of China because so many industry companies have offices there). The event got underway Friday afternoon (May 31) with informal networking, followed by an evening reception. International domain broker George Hong of Guta.com (who has offices in both Xiamen and the U.S.)

The questions the panelists tackled at this session included:

  • Compared with 2018, has the domain name trading market of 2019 had any obvious changes? What are the main causes of these changes?

  • In what aspects can global domain trading platforms have better cooperation and communication? Will the trade friction between China and the US affect the domain name industry?

  • What challenges or opportunities do guests see in the business development of their respective companies? The forecast for domain name market trends in the second half of  2019?

One way they did that was by holding a Lucky Drawing periodically between sessions Saturday afternoon. Several fortunate guests took home some nice prizes to go along with their memories of the 2019 event.
