BSA Team to Attend ICANN Contracted Parties Summit

The Brand Safety Alliance (BSA) will be attending the ICANN Contracted Parties Summit in Manchester, United Kingdom, from April 27–29.  

For the BSA, the Summit represents a valuable opportunity to connect directly with registry and registrar partners and continue advancing collaborative approaches to brand protection.  

The BSA's Ben Anderson and Caspar Veltheim will attend to discuss GlobalBlock’s growth and expanding registry partnerships as the service approaches its second anniversary.  

With the largest group of new extensions to date joining the platform in March, GlobalBlock's network of registry and service provider partners continues to expand. We look forward to meeting with prospective partners interested in joining GlobalBlock and supporting brand protection at scale.  

The Contracted Parties Summit brings together key stakeholders responsible for operating and distributing domain names, making it an important forum for discussing practical, industry-led solutions to brand abuse.  

For registries and registrars, the Summit provides an opportunity to explore how GlobalBlock can support stronger brand relationships, enhance service offerings, and contribute to a more secure namespace.  

If you’re attending the Summit in Manchester and would like to connect with the BSA team, please reach out to us at hello@brandsafetyalliance.co to arrange a time.
