The internet dating industry gathered in Beverly Hills through June 5 and June 7 to discuss the growing trend of mobile dating at the Mobile Dating Conference.
Real single daters joined the industry conference at a focus group, which I hosted and moderated to learn the views of the people.
We reviewed many of the popular dating platforms including Badoo, eharmony, How About We, Let’s Date, Match, OkCupid and Tinder. The daters participated in a six-week mobile dating boot camp sharing their experiences at the conference. What a great time learning about the latest trends and the opportunities ahead!
