NINE DAYS TO GO

Nine days. The team is at full steam, the final details are falling into place, and the energy around this year is something else entirely. Nordic Domain Days 2026 is more or less sold out. We are only releasing tickets as they become available for one reason or another, so if you have not registered yet, now is the time. Once we close the door, we close it.

The program is the strongest we have ever put together. Monday opens with our Domain Industry Update, rolls into the Future of the Internet, and closes with three back-to-back Domain Investment sessions curated by Giuseppe Graziano. Tuesday morning brings the Policy block, two hands-on Master Classes running in parallel, and a full afternoon of Tech! sessions. The DNS Abuse Workshop returns for its second year. Every segment has returning voices and new ones, and the conversations between sessions are half the reason people keep coming back.

Then there are the evenings. Sunday kicks off with Welcome Drinks and our annual VIP Dinner, followed by the .blog Sunday Night Live karaoke on the main stage. Monday evening is the one everyone remembers: the Meatball Dinner, then the Grand Social Event with live music on stage. We will leave the lineup as a surprise, but if you were at NDD 2025, you know we do not do things halfway. Tuesday wraps with the Farewell Dinner, Swedish Taco style.

We are looking forward to welcoming everyone to Stockholm, where the weather forecast is showing around +20 degrees and sunshine. The city is ready, we are ready, and we cannot wait to see you all there.

Regards,

Lars “LG” Forsberg

Founder & Curator
