We strongly suggest you plan early for Miami. They hotels will sell out and you'll be scrambling to find a place to stay.

The hotel we have for the event is the Royal Palm Miami Beach Hotel with a rate of USD $249/night. This is FAR better than their normal rates (Over $400/night at Hotels.com). Once these rooms sell out, we will try to get another hotel, but it will probably be more expensive. Call Tel: +1 305 604 5700 and mention "Internet Dating Conference" for the special rate."

This year we have TWO events running concurrently, the iDate2008 event and the Social Networking Conference. Registering for one gets you into both events. We expect more people attending the combined events than ever before. Already, we're getting more early registrations than we ever had.

80% of the attendance consists of senior executives from the social networking and online personals space. The majority of the attendance at these events have historically been the owners and operators of the businesses themselves.

Now, here's the shocker: Of the remaining 20%, I would say that 5% - 10% are suppliers to the industry. Anyone that is a vendor to these industries 'clean's house' at this event. There is so little competition. That's what shocks me. Year after year, I have spoken with a plethora of online marketing executives. Most tell me how online personals is a major part of their business. I explained to them that almost all of their customers are in one room. Marketing executives that do show up are ecstatic. They get alot of business and attend again, and again.

Remember - Register before November 30th and save $220 on the registration fee!

Today is the last day for the early registration at $775.
Registration Page

If you like the iDate Agenda, check out the SNC Agenda. Registration for one allows for attendance to both events.

As a result, we are getting more registrations for this than ever before.

In previous years, we had over 330 people attending these events. This year, I assure you will me much higher. There is a strong possibility we may sell out.

.....Just a 'heads up' from where I sit.

Look forward to seeing you in Maimi.
