Some people attend an industry.
Others help shape it.

We are delighted to announce Martin Steinkamp, Founder of DomainProfi and NicSell, as one of the featured attendees and speakers at Domain Summit Europe 2026 in Kempten, Germany.

With deep roots in the German and European domain market, Martin represents the kind of quiet excellence that defines this year’s edition: experienced, focused, entrepreneurial, and trusted by people who understand the real value of domain names.

Domain Summit Europe 2026 is intentionally smaller this year.
No unnecessary theatre. No oversized halls. No noise for the sake of noise.

Just a carefully selected room of people who build, trade, protect, invest in, and understand domains.

And Martin is exactly the kind of person we want in that room.

Featured Attendee & Speaker | Domain Summit Europe 2026

Some speakers bring knowledge.
Others bring judgement.

We are delighted to feature Igor Motsnyi of Motsnyi IP, Serbia, as a Featured Attendee and Speaker at Domain Summit Europe 2026 in Kempten, Germany.

Igor is one of those rare professionals who understands the domain name world from the legal, commercial, and international policy sides. His work sits at the intersection of trademarks, domain disputes, brand protection, Internet governance, UDRP, URS, and the practical realities faced by registrants, investors, registrars, and rights holders.

An interesting fact about Igor: he has lived and worked across multiple countries, speaks several languages, and brings more than two decades of international IP and domain name experience to the table.

Igor is also a friend of Domain Summit and has helped us form a truly strong legal panel for the upcoming Domain Summit Europe 2026.

This is exactly what we want Kempten to be about:
not noise, but substance;
not crowds, but trusted conversations;
not just attendance, but contribution.

Welcome to Domain Summit Europe 2026, Igor.

Featured Attendee & Speaker | Domain Summit Europe 2026

Some people understand domain names as assets.
Some understand them as brands.
Some understand them as disputes waiting to happen.

@JimDavies understands all three.

We are delighted to feature Jim Davies, Solicitor and Director at 360 Law Services, and Company Secretary at OpenUK, as a Featured Attendee and Speaker at Domain Summit Europe 2026 in Kempten, Germany.

Jim is one of the UK’s most respected domain name law specialists. His career combines intellectual property, internet law, trademarks, commercial advice, governance, and real-world domain name disputes across both the UK and Australia.

An interesting fact about Jim: before becoming known for domain name law, he was part of the legal team that successfully helped protect the word “Champagne” in a leading Court of Appeal case for the French wine industry. Later, he became deeply involved in high-profile domain name disputes, including cases around MySpace.co.uk and Bounce.co.uk.

He is also a former Non-Executive Director of Nominet UK, the .uk registry, and today serves as Company Secretary of OpenUK.

For Domain Summit, Jim is more than a speaker.

He is a friend, a supporter, and one of those quiet, high-credibility people who helps good things grow. Over the years, including during the London Domain Summit editions, Jim has supported the event, spoken on domain name law, and made a number of high-profile introductions that have helped strengthen the Domain Summit network.

This is exactly the calibre of person we want in Kempten:
professional, trusted, discreet, deeply experienced, and generous with his knowledge.

Welcome to Domain Summit Europe 2026, Jim!!

Today's Featured Attendee & Speaker | Domain Summit Europe 2026 - @freddy

Some people build companies.
Some build networks.
Some quietly help others make better decisions.

Frederick “Freddy” Schiwek does all three.

We are proud to feature Freddy Schiwek from Luxembourg , Business Development at Namespace Group, as a Featured Attendee and Speaker at Domain Summit Europe 2026 in Kempten, Germany.

Freddy is one of those rare people in the domain and hosting industry who combines entrepreneurial experience, commercial instinct, and genuine relationship capital. His career has moved across premium domains, hosting, telecoms, business development, acquisitions, and international growth.

An interesting fact about Freddy: he co-founded Domain Invest in 2008, later built and scaled hosting businesses including Hosting.co.uk, Luxhosting.com and MonsterHost, and his hosting portfolio was acquired by World Host Group in December 2023.

Today, Freddy is part of Namespace Group, a global internet services group with a strong domain-name-centred portfolio. The image here shows only a few of the companies owned by the group. There are more, including brands across domain registration, brand protection, hosting, cloud services, and business infrastructure.

For Domain Summit, Freddy is more than a speaker.

He is a friend, a supporter, and personally a real source of inspiration to me, Helmuts. When I am stuck with business decisions, Freddy is one of the people I occasionally turn to for advice. And, he always finds time to listen and give advice. Thank you, Freddy!!

Over the years, he has always supported Domain Summit events, made many high-value introductions, and helped open important doors for the growth of Domain Summit, including introductions connected with World Host Group, now hosting.com.

This is exactly the kind of person we want in the room in Kempten:
experienced, connected, practical, generous, and quietly influential.
