events New Escrow.com? Watch Matt Barrie's Keynote Speech Live

Spaceship Spaceship
The last day of NamesCon 2016 is here. On NamesCon's main stage, we've seen Uniregistry unveil a new market platform, and we have witnessed the success of the RightOfTheDot auction that sold nearly $1.5 million dollars worth of domain names.

Today, it's Matt Barrie's turn to take to the stage. Matt is the CEO of Freelancer.com, which announced last year that they had acquired Escrow.com for $7.5 million in cash. Since then, there have been very few visible changes, but that looks set to change.

According to a report from DomainGang, Matt could be unveiling a rebranded Escrow.com website with support for several languages. A new back-end management system is due to be released too, bringing new tools and improvements.

In an interview I conducted with Escrow.com's General Manager Jackson Elsegood last year, he said, "We will aim to modernize the existing marketing site with a new one to make it mobile responsive, faster for users around the world, and multilingual."

For those who are unaware of Matt Barrie, he is most famous for creating the Freelancer network: a public company that currently has over 17 million users. Aside from Matt Barrie's roles as President of Escrow.com and CEO of Freelancer.com, he is a regular speaker at events all over the world and one of the top Worldwide Influencers on LinkedIn along with Richard Branson, Barack Obama, and Deepak Chopra.

Whilst no details of Matt's keynote speech have been confirmed, you can guarantee that it will be fascinating to hear.
