Richard John is in the mood for love at IBTM World…

 

It was at IBTM World in Barcelona that inspiration struck me. I was chatting to a delightful lady at the opening party and I asked her: “what are you really hoping to get from the event?” She came back quick as a flash: “a husband.”

Would you like children, I asked. “Oh yes,” she said, excitedly. So, I moved on. Her loss, obviously. But the encounter got me thinking: after all, 2019 was all about mental health issues. Maybe part of the challenge is the difficulty in having a proper relationship, considering the long hours and endless parties that come with the job.

That’s why, before my flight back had touched down, I’d already created a model for a bespoke dating site for our industry. As the new decade arrived, www.micematch.me was launched, just in time for Valentine’s Day and, of course, the hottest dating opportunity of all, International Confex.

The response has been phenomenal, which is just as well. You might be thinking I’m the only person on it. But successful businesses know that scale is the key, by tapping into a network of other sites we are adding to a pool of potential partners that already numbers in the hundreds of thousands. And that means finding someone whose dating aspirations match yours. Some of you might be keen on a relationship that lasts a lifetime, for others it may well be that your idea of a long-term relationship spans the duration of set-up to break down. Chacun a son gout, as the French say.

So, if you’re thinking the opportunity for love is just what you need to chase away those winter blues, get online, and enjoy the free trial period to see who else is out there.

At the time of writing I’m still single. But come on, that offer won’t be around for much longer.

And imagine if we had a proposal in time for Confex 2021. Now that would be a result. Anyone know any good event organisers for the Big Day?
