One of the biggest series of wedding planning conferences is finally here! The 9th edition of the Exotic Wedding Planning Conference (EWPC) will be hosting its annual industry extravaganza of learning, networking and business opportunities for the global wedding planning industry right here in Dubai, this March 2022. It has been a challenging few years for wedding and events professionals and in association with Dubai Tourism, the EWPC promises to bring a breath of fresh air as we band together, assess the damage and set the building blocks in place for a bright and exciting future ahead.

The two-day conference will host 200+ wedding planners from 30 different countries to explore more than 10 unique industry sessions, as well as several targeted workshops and break-out meetings to pave the way for crucial conversations on how to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving industry, whilst protecting your business for a resilient and scalable future. Gathering some of the brightest talents under one roof, this event is not to be missed.

Global brands such as Eddie Zaratsian of Eddie Zaratsian Lifestyle and Design, Meltem Tepeler of KM Events and Precious Thamaga of Precious Celebrations along with many others (see below) will be sharing their experiences and vision, exploring topics such as how to double down on the wedding boom of 2022, how to future-proof your business to harness new revenue sources and what the future of weddings and events is in a post-pandemic world.

“While the world reopens, many countries are still battling the third wave of COVID-19. This has led to couples being anxious along with guidelines and restrictions limiting large gatherings and events in certain parts. As countries and states continually adapt local regulations in response to the potential of changing circumstances, EWPC anticipates weddings post-third-wave to be celebrated in several different ways, coming back with vengeance.

” – Mr Rishikesh Shetty, Founder and CEO of Exito Media and EWPC.
