About this event
GDI New York Conference 2027 is the North American conference of Global Dating Insights, a trade news and analysis site that covers the online dating business. On Eventbrite the organiser appears as the Dating and Social Discovery Conference. Global Dating Insights says its site reaches more than 30,000 unique visitors a month in over 100 countries, and it runs a second conference in London, set for Wednesday, 15 September 2027.
The New York edition is a single day, Wednesday, 17 March 2027, at etc.venues, 601 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022. The main programme opens at 10 AM. Two informal evenings frame it: a pre-conference networking session at a New York bar on Tuesday, 16 March, and a drinks reception once the conference day closes. For reference, the 2024 New York edition took place on 20 March 2024 at Dream Downtown.
Speaker sessions fill the whole conference day, and lunch and refreshments are provided without extra charge. Speakers, session topics and a full agenda have not been published yet. Companies that want visibility can buy sponsorship, which the organiser offers as exhibitor space, sponsorship of food and drink, or one of a small number of paid speaking slots.
Tickets are sold on Eventbrite in two categories. Dating Brands is limited to people employed by dating-related companies, such as online dating platforms, matchmaking services and investors in the sector. Vendors covers every other company, for example technology suppliers and software developers. Prices were not shown on the listing when this page was written, and the listing states that tickets cannot be refunded.
For affiliates and media buyers the fit is narrow but real for anyone working dating offers. The conference is aimed at the people who build and fund dating products rather than at traffic sellers, and the official pages say nothing about affiliate programmes, media buying or lead generation. A dating affiliate would most likely attend on a Vendors ticket, with the value coming from direct contact with platform and matchmaking companies in one room. Networks and tracking vendors that sell into dating may find the sponsorship packages a more direct route than a delegate pass.
