CENTR Registrar Day and CENTR Awards Coming on 8 October

CENTR is to hold its annual pan-European Registrar Day in at The Hotel in Brussels, Belgium, on 8 October. It will be followed by the fourth 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.

CENTR encourages registries and registrars from all over
Europe to come together and mix and mingle, exchange on best practices, improve
on or create new business relationships and get updates from industry experts. They
say to expect a re-run of last year’s successful speed-networking session, as
well as a tailored agenda based on feedback and key topics of interest.
