High Intent Events

The anti-conference.

Working sessions run by people who've actually built dating businesses, not a ballroom where you get pitched all day. Mostly breakouts: small groups of operators working the exact problems you're all fighting, led by people who've solved them. Real problems, real solutions. You leave with a plan, not a tote bag.

Our events brand

Our events run under DatingSummit, the anti-conference for dating operators, brought to you by High Intent Media. One touring summit, three cities a year: New York in November 2026, then London, then San Francisco. Working sessions, not panels. Operators, not vendors.

Registration, agendas, and the city list live at DatingSummit.com.

What we do
  • ·Mostly breakouts: small groups of operators working the exact problems you're all fighting, led by people who've solved them.
  • ·Multiple in-person events through the year, plus large-scale video working sessions where the whole community builds together.
  • ·Every format is a working session. Come ready to work.
  • ·Designed, built, and run by operators who've run successful dating businesses.
What we won't do
  • ·No eight hours in a ballroom chair.
  • ·No vendor pitch marathon.
  • ·No agenda handed over to sponsors.
"Trust and safety matters too much to be a panel where everyone takes turns telling each other how good they are at it. If it's on our agenda, it's a working session: what's actually broken, and how to fix it."
On trust & safety: work, not performance
The lineup

Five formats. All of them working sessions.

Flagship annual summit

In person, multi-day, all breakout working tracks. The industry's builders in one room, working.

Regional working summits

A few each year, in the US and Europe. Same format, closer to home.

Video working sessions

Recurring, large-scale, whole community: one problem worked together in real time.

Focused clinics

In person or online. Single-lever deep work: retention, paywall, acquisition.

Invite-only operator dinners

In person. Peer connection, no pitching.

Working topics

Acquisition and marketing, retention and lifecycle, monetization and paywall, marketplace liquidity and ratios, payments and chargebacks, product and feature roadmap, growing without a raise, and the deal market.
