Finalists For European Dating Awards Announced

The finalists of the first ever European Dating Awards have been revealed.

The awards will be held in Amsterdam next month at the beautiful Rode Hoed venue, as part of a joint one-day event with GDI’s European Conference.

This year there are 10 different award categories, including Online Dating Brand of the Year, Dating App of the Year, Dating Expert of the Year, Best New Dating App and Best Niche Dating Site, among others.

After two very successful years in the UK, this is the first time the awards are expanding to the European mainland, celebrating excellence and expertise in all areas of the dating industry.

Sponsors for the first ever European awards include headline sponsor M14 Industries, silver sponsor Dating Factory and award sponsors Matchmaker Academy & Scamalytics.

Earlier today, we also released the full agenda for the GDI Amsterdam Conference.

The fantastic lineup is split between two streams, the main online dating-focused track, and a second matchmaking stream – check it out here.

Tickets for the conference are selling fast, and you can buy yours now here to avoid disappointment.
