We’re excited to announce that Bride Club ME is an official media partner of one of the region’s most respected B2B events for the destination weddings, luxury celebrations, and MICE industries, The Experiential Planner Expo (EPEX), returning to Dubai this September for its milestone 10th edition.

📍 When: 4–5 September 2025
📍 Where: Grand Hyatt, Dubai

Over the past decade, EPEX has earned a solid reputation for connecting top-tier event suppliers with high-value planners and buyers across India, the Middle East, the UK, and Russia/CIS. It’s where serious business meets smart creativity, and this year’s edition is shaping up to be bigger, more curated, and more international than ever before.

A Showcase of Global Talent & Top-Tier Suppliers

EPEX 2025 will feature a dynamic mix of international exhibitors, including:

• Leading hotel groups from the UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Oman, and Turkey

• Convention bureaus and tourism boards from Dubai (Dubai Business Events), Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), Bahrain, Oman, Switzerland, and Turkey

• Elite Destination Management Companies (DMCs) and creative event suppliers

• The newly launched Gourmet & Experiential Venues Pavilion, headlined by the likes of Addmind, Sunset Hospitality, and Rikas Group

Whether you’re a wedding planner looking to expand your destination portfolio, or a hotelier seeking international partnerships, EPEX offers direct access to decision-makers and tastemakers in the global events industry.

Sustainability in Focus

EPEX 2025 is doubling down on its commitment to eco-conscious practices. From zero-paper initiatives and reusable production materials to badge recycling and low-impact booth design, the show is championing what sustainable scale can look like for events of the future.

The Culinary Edge

This year, the role of food in event storytelling takes centre stage. Expect immersive catering experiences, trend-setting gourmet tastings, and innovative concepts from the region’s top hospitality groups, proving that F&B isn’t just a service; it’s a statement.

Why It Matters to the Bride Club ME Community — Vendors & Engaged Couples Alike

For our UAE-based wedding planners, hospitality professionals, and destination-focused vendors, EPEX is more than just a trade show, it’s a powerful platform to connect with aligned professionals, discover new global destinations, and elevate your brand visibility in front of a curated network of decision-makers.

But it’s not just industry insiders who benefit…

For our brides- and grooms-to-be, especially those planning destination weddings, EPEX plays an important role behind the scenes. It brings together the very planners, venues, and creative suppliers who craft unforgettable wedding experiences around the world, from Europe to the Middle East and beyond. The inspiration, trends, and partnerships formed at EPEX ultimately shape the celebrations you see featured on our platform, and in real life.

In short? It’s where the magic begins, long before you walk down the aisle.
