GDI Postpones October’s London Conference Due to COVID-19 Uncertainty

The team here at Global Dating Insights have made the difficult decision to postpone our upcoming London conference due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite initial optimism that the event could go ahead as planned and the world slowly beginning to open back up again, we have concluded that postponement is the best idea for several reasons.

Firstly, and most importantly, the health and safety of our attendees is of the utmost priority. While plans from the UK government are in place to allow smaller business conferences to return from 1st October, we still believe that it would be irresponsible to gather dating executives from around the world in one room.

Furthermore, social distancing guidelines would not allow use to operate at full capacity. We want to make sure that when we do return, we can deliver a conference of the size and standard that you’ve come to expect from GDI.

The global situation is evolving on an almost daily basis and it’s impossible to predict how the situation might change for better or for worse. Therefore, we will refrain from making any announcements regarding our 2021 events until early next year.

In the meantime, you can sign up for one of our free ‘Virtual Third Thursday’ webinars, which bring together leading minds from the industry on the third Thursday of each month.

Keep up to date with our weekly podcasts, which continue to go from strength-to-strength, as well as our Wednesday, Friday and Sunday roundup email newsletters.

We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has been involved in our events in the past. Please follow the advice from your local government, look after yourself and others, and we can’t wait to see you all again in the very near future.
