GDI Launches Upcoming Third Thursday Webinars

Global Dating Insights is delighted to announce the participants for the upcoming Third Thursday webinars for April, May, and June. For the Third Thursday of every month, GDI invites one member of the dating community to join our editor, Luke, to host a relevant discussion group surrounding the current issues in the industry, the biggest developments in the next twelve months, and advice for those looking to enter or develop in the industry.

GDI is delighted to announce that on Thursday, 21st April, we’ll be joined by The Sauce. In this webinar, GDI and The Sauce will host an exploration at the intersection of video based dating profiles. We will look at challenges that exist in the dating industry, and in an increasingly isolated digital society. We’ll discuss the historical role of video in dating, why it’s such an important step forwards for dating, and also how the past twelve months have been for The Sauce, raising more than £1.25 million in a January seed funding round.

On Thursday 19th May, GDI will be joined by S’More. In this webinar, GDI and Adam Cohen-Aslatei, CEO at S’More, will host a webinar looking at the rise of anti-superficial dating. We will look at why it’s so important, now more than ever, that dating becomes personality based, rather than simply looks alone. We will also look at the development of dating platforms into social experiences, talking about S’More’s TV series, and the various social opportunities available to users, pushing it far beyond the bounds of a simple dating platform.

Finally, on Thursday 16th June, GDI will be joined by the Online Dating Association. In this webinar, GDI and Dr. Hannah Shimko, Director of Communications at the Online Dating Association (ODA), will host a webinar looking at the the importance of governance and regulation in modern online dating. Luke and Hannah will talk about the issues of 2022, why this new era of dating is causing never seen before problems in the industry, and how platforms can help to combat this. The ODA will also offer their support and advice on issues within the industry, and how platforms can look to get involved with the ODA.
