On 8 October 2019, CENTR will be holding its pan-European Registrar Day in Brussels, Belgium.
The Council of European National Top-Level Domain Registries (CENTR) will be holding its annual Registrar Day on 8 October 2019 from 9.00 - 17.00 at The Hotel in Brussels, Belgium.
The event will be followed by the fourth edition of the CENTR Awards, which aim at highlighting country code top-level domain (ccTLD) registry projects, teams and people that make a difference in the domain name industry, and which this year will also mark CENTR's 20th Anniversary.
This is a unique opportunity for registries and registrars from all over Europe to mix and mingle, exchange on best practices, improve on or create new business relationships and get updates from industry experts. Expect a re-run of previous year’s successful speed-networking session, as well as a tailored agenda based on feedback and key topics of interest.
To register, please reach out to your local ccTLD registry. We look forward to welcoming many registries and registrars in Brussels in October!
