Global Leaders Gather in Hong Kong! DN.com Successfully Hosts the 2025 Asia Domain Summit!

On November 18, 2025, the inaugural Asia Domain Summit, hosted by DN.com, successfully concluded in Hong Kong.

As Asia's first professional domain industry event focusing on the B2B sector, this summit, themed "Precisely Connecting the Global Domain Industry Chain and Seizing the Trillion-Dollar Asian Market Dividend," brought together global industry leaders, registrars, investors, legal experts, and digital entrepreneurs to create a high-profile, highly connected, and effective international industry event on the shores of Victoria Harbour.

Three Keynote Speeches: Insights into the Future of the Industry

In his opening speech, DN.com founder Dai Yue, under the theme "Making Domains Great Again," elaborated on DN.com's platform mission and global vision. He stated that DN.com is committed to connecting buyers and sellers in China and around the world, building a win-win international domain ecosystem. Furthermore, he shared the team's intensive schedule of attending 20 industry conferences globally within ten months of 2025. This sustained passion and solid action deeply inspired every guest present.

Following this, .Asia CEO Edmon Chung introduced the "Go Create" concept in his speech, emphasizing that domain names are not only web addresses but also crucial carriers of brand identity and value. Their uniqueness, scarcity, and interoperability will define the next generation of digital identity.

Oliver Yang, a representative of the .TOP registry, also revealed in his speech that the number of global registrations of the .top domain has exceeded 6 million, making it the tenth largest top-level domain in the world. Its business covers 200 countries and regions, and it has a positive brand association in both Chinese and English contexts, demonstrating strong market appeal.

Roundtable Discussions: A Clash of Ideas, Building Consensus

Three roundtable discussions explored the topic in depth from the perspectives of technology, market, and law:

Roundtable 1 | The New Wave of gTLDs: Technology, Opportunities, and Challenges

Registry experts from Hong Kong, Europe, and North America unanimously agreed that education, compliance, and scale are key to the success of new general top-level domains (gTLDs), and expressed optimism about the enormous potential of emerging markets in Asia and Africa.

Roundtable 2 | Domain Investors, Brokers, and the Market

Investors and brokers from China, Hong Kong, Europe, the Middle East, and other regions gathered to focus on signs of market recovery, the demand for domains driven by AI, and the continued strength of short-character .com and .ai domains. The discussions were lively, and a clear consensus emerged: the domain market is regaining its vitality.

Roundtable 3 | Asian Domain Disputes, UDRP, and ccTLD Enforcement

Several legal experts, using typical cases, provided in-depth analysis of the enforcement difficulties and solutions for Asian domain disputes, offering professional risk management guidance for investors and brands.

Starry Night Party and Hong Kong Trip: Continuing Cooperation Through Exchange

As night fell, a rooftop starry night party unfolded in a relaxed atmosphere, accompanied by music, lights, and the night view of Hong Kong. Many cooperation intentions naturally formed during informal exchanges.

The following day, some guests participated in a Hong Kong city cultural tour, visiting the renowned Wong Tai Sin Temple and Victoria Harbour, further deepening exchanges through a culturally rich local experience, adding a touch of warmth and regional character to the summit.

The inaugural Asia Domain Name Summit not only built a bridge between the Asian and global domain name industries but also promoted the exchange of ideas, resource sharing, and trust building through speeches, roundtables, auctions, and networking. These achievements are inseparable from the hard work and professional support of every staff member. Although the conference has concluded, the industry insights, collaborative networks, and market momentum generated by the summit will continue to empower the innovative development of the global domain name ecosystem. We look forward to meeting you again at the next summit!
