Join the wedding professionals newsletter
This section is for National & International associations and tradeshows. Wedding professionals, here is how you can help build this industry. Attend the conferences in your field of expertise. Some are costly, some are not. All are worth the money! This will be a growing section and will change from time to time. If you become aware of a national conference that touches upon the wedding industry that is not listed, please Email the details and it will be added to this section.
Where possible we have linked to their conference page. If there is no page or we cannot get a return link we will have the information available with an email for your use. When looking to attend these conferences you may be required to have the appropiate ID, when registering they will let you know what is required. These conferences are for the trade, not for the bride to plan a wedding.
