iDate Miami 2009 Recap

I recently returned from my trip in South Beach, Florida where I presented and attended iDate 2009. The show was by far the best iDate that I have attended. There was a very diverse representation from the online dating and social media space. The networking opportunities were plentiful and most sessions very useful.

Like all iDates, the best conversations are those that take place in the hallways. I spent far more time in the hallways than in the sessions. Speaking of sessions, I presented during one session. The session was called, “Channel Marketing: How To Grow An Online Dating Business in a Recession.” I received some great feedback from the session’s attendees and thought the questions asked where bang on the money.

With the current online dating landscape, there is just a ton of opportunity for growth. Meeting with and speaking with other online dating sites was as always very insightful. There is a ton of creativity going on right now and there is no doubt this year will be very interesting.
