Miami to Host 2010 Internet Dating Conference
Just in time for Valentine’s Day comes the 2010 Internet Dating Conference to be held in Miami, Florida from January 27th-29th. The iDate 2010 conference is the largest gathering of internet dating service providers, social networking executives, mobile telecommunications executives, media executives, vendors and other leaders in the social media industry. Exhibitors will also be on hand to showcase the latest in online dating technology.
A Growing Trend
According to Online Dating Magazine, approximately 20 million people visit online dating sites each month. Consumerrankings.com lists Chemistry.com as the most popular dating site with 20,000,000 members. The iDate conference will focus on managing, growing, and engaging this lucrative market. Other topics include:
- New technologies
- Mobile social networks
- Increasing web traffic
- Conversion rates
The Business of Social Media
The three day iDate event is held in conjunction with the Social Networking Conference. The two events are billed as a “super conference”. Each year the conferences get bigger as more and more consumers turn to social media to research everything from milk to mates. A 2009 Knowledge Networks survey found that 83% of the online population ages 13-54 use some sort of social media. The iDate and Social Networking Conference aim to capitalize on this market. A full day early registration package costs $1,595. Visit the iDate website for more information.

Yet, these online and virtual relationships have sparked romances, and even marriages, which just show how much of an influence the internet is on our lives these days.
