Senior dating industry operators in a working session in a Manhattan boardroom overlooking the New York skyline at golden hour
The anti-conference for dating

Engineering the future of connection.

DatingSummit gathers the operators who actually build and scale in this industry. You’ll spend the day working on the problems in front of your business right now, alongside operators who have actually built and scaled in this industry.

Every session is led by someone who’s done the work, not someone selling a tool. You leave with a plan, not a tote bag. Nobody pitching you all day.

Dating Summit is brought to you by the team at High Intent Media.

New York. November 2026.

A day in the room.

One day, one room, capped attendance. Four working sessions and a closing panel, all shaped before you arrive. Here is how the day runs.

01

Morning

Three working sessions, led by people who have done it.

No keynotes, no vendor decks. Three defined sessions on the problems in front of your business right now.

01

Building a marketing program from zero

How an early-stage founder deploys a limited budget for maximum return, and where the wins actually are. Media buying, SEO, social, and win-backs.

02

Raising money in a hard market

What it takes to raise for consumer dating when VC has pulled back. Who is still writing checks, and what they need to see before they do.

03

The conversion engine

Registration paths, testing discipline, and pricing best practices, plus how to actually read your attribution model instead of guessing.

02

Midday

A fourth session, picked by the room.

When you apply, you vote from a shortlist of candidate topics. The winner gets its own working session, with a leader who has actually lived it. The room programs its own afternoon.

03

Close

You set the agenda for the closing panel.

Audience programmed

The day closes with a panel of operators. The twist: you tell us what they cover. One short form at application collects your questions and your vote for the fourth breakout. The most-requested topics go straight to the room.

1

You apply. One short form, one set of questions.

2

You program the room. Ask the panel anything, vote the fourth breakout from a shortlist.

3

We build to demand. Top topics make the agenda, with the right operator to lead each one.

If you are here to roll up your sleeves and walk away with best practices from people who have actually done this, then this is the place for you.
