The UAE’s event industry is having a moment. With every passing season, we’re seeing immersive experiences, ambitious productions, and more creative collaboration than ever before, and if there’s one place where that energy converges into a single, electrifying day, it’s EventMania.

Returning for its most exciting edition yet, EventMania Festival 2025 will take place on September 9th at the SkyLight Gallery, Arjaan by Rotana, in Dubai Media City. For anyone working in weddings, events, creative production, or brand activations, this is the date to mark on your calendar.

As Bride Club ME joins the festival as an official media partner, we’re taking a closer look at what makes this annual gathering so essential and why this year’s edition promises to set a new benchmark for industry events in the region.

What started as a well-executed industry meetup has evolved into something of a movement. Last year’s festival brought together 300 professionals, many of whom went on to collaborate after the event. This year, that number is expected to reach over 500, making EventMania the region’s fastest-growing ecosystem for event professionals.

What to Expect

The day’s format reads more like a thoughtfully curated experience than a traditional industry show.

One of the standout concepts is the Event Maze, a dynamic networking arena where attendees present their services to over 150 potential clients in fast-paced, rotating sessions. Think of it as business speed dating.

Alongside that is the Leads Arena, home to 30 interactive exhibition booths where suppliers can showcase event services, everything from exclusive decor to technical equipment.

There’s also a live podcast studio where guests can film interviews and walk away with polished, branded content for their channels, not to mention a stage show lineup featuring illusionists, beatboxers, cover bands, and theatrical performers.

Another prominent feature is the Event Marketing 360° Public Talk, featuring 11 TED-style talks from industry leaders who delve into topics such as creative strategy, sales, and modern industry trends.

Set inside the industrial-chic SkyLight Gallery, the event’s setting enhances the experience, featuring panoramic windows, photo zones, a 360° spinner, photo printing stations, and surprise activations by sponsors to ensure that content creators, planners, and suppliers alike have plenty to engage with.

Why It Matters for Wedding and Lifestyle Creatives

As a media platform dedicated to the UAE’s wedding and events scene, Bride Club ME is proud to support EventMania 2025. We believe in celebrating the people who work tirelessly behind the scenes, the planners, designers and makers who turn moments into memories.
