The Internet Dating Conference started in 2004. The main conference is in Miami each January. The next one happens in Moscow in September. I speak at all of them. The idating industry is growing slowly but surely. The fastest growth is occurring internationally now. Especially in China where Jiayuan, Zhenai, Baihe and 51Taonan are picking up millions of users.
