LTR

By Direct Invitation Only

OVERVIEW

This is our 3rd LTR online conference experience and builds on what we learned from you at the September and November LTR Conferences and prior IDEA SUMMITs (see below). LTR #3 is a fast-paced 2 1/2 hours and starts at 11:30am EST (New York time) Thursday 17th December with a half hour of networking followed by three presentations and another ~half hour of Xmas party networking.

LTR is designed to help you get to know other CXOs and fellow leaders of online social communities and dating companies. This event is small and focused with 75 places only. You'll meet CEOs and top flight executives from a diversity of leading dating and online social communities along with brilliant people from outside our industry that can really inspire you to think outside the box, and to the future.

The LTR conference is hosted and attended by the Internet Dating Excellence Association (IDEA) and Online Social Community Association (OSCA).

Presentations are ~20 minutes each and will reveal a core idea. You'll hear ideas on growth opportunities and user experience, challenging issues worthy of collaboration, interesting new technology and inspirational and informative stories to help enhance your understanding and sharpen up your strategy.

This will be a unique, uplifting and essential event that will help you and your company align with the best of what the dating and online social community industries will become. LTR will help you evolve and help you connect with and get more perspective from your peers.

This is a closed-door session and is by direct-invite-only from your host and organizer Mark Brooks. RSVP above or simply reply to Mark's email invitation.
