Increasing traffic and conversion rates leads to increased LOVE
....and revenue!
For the previous two years at iDateAsia conferences, it is clear that the Far East/Asian market for both social networking and online dating will become the most prolific and most likely the largest sector over the next decade. Within certain countries, mobile applications are quite advanced. More than Europe, the Far East is an untapped market for the Online Personals and Social Networking Industry. In 2007, most of the industry remians concentrated on what is now considerd a mature market in North America. Meanwhile, few companies have actively pursued the Far East/Asian market for social networking or for online dating.
Our 3rd annual Internet Dating Conference will once again provide an event in Shanghai on Thursday and Friday, May 17-18, 2007. While it will cover the Asian Online Personals and Social Networking business, the iDate2007 Shanghai event will also have a strong focus on China. It is for online dating/social networking management executives that have an interest in penetrating the Asian market. Attending will be:
Internet dating industry business executives
Social networking business executives
Venture Capitalists
Software & technology executives
Telecommunication executives
Marketing executives
Media executives
Payment processing executives
Affiliate managers
Affiliates and portal webmasters of singles related sites.
Experts in management, technology and marketing for social networking / online dating with experience with the market in Far East nations will present. The idate2007 Shanghai event will focus mostly on the Chinese market for several reasons. Most of the growth we have witnessed in this sector is coming from China, espescially in Social Networking. Many successful North American based businesses have ignored expansion into this market. As a result, Chinese entrepreneurs have created their own brands, which are now quite popular in the country. For the online personal's side, While the market size is obvious, the uneven ratio of men to women being born has been documented for decades. (see here for one example). There will be a strong and robust online market in the future for Chinese marriages and relationships.
Similar to the Miami event in January, this two day Asian Internet Dating Conference will consist of morning seminars and lectures, followed by afternoon workshops. The workshops will consist of a series of 90 minute intensive lectures that are designed to improve online dating business performance. Most presentations will focus on increasing Far East web traffic and conversion rates. Language issues, cultural differences, technological developments and preferences for specific Asian countries will be covered at this event. Dating industry executives, marketing representatives, technology executives, affiliates and affiliate managers all stand to learn a great deal in these workshops and are welcome to interject their questions at anytime. Significant time will exist for networking as well.
Exhibitors will also be present and all are urged to meet these companies in person to network and build relationships.
