Leader’s Lunch

Only 10 seats are available, and the day will feature fine dining of contemporary cuisine, followed by curated discussion of business intelligence and strategy in the online dating industry.

Tickets cost £199 each, and leaders will enjoy a fine dining experience and an exclusive opportunity to come together to shape the future of online dating with industry counterparts.

And once the conference finishes on the 16th, another networking reception will be held in Richmond – offering delegates another chance to continue the conversations and connections made during the conference.
