The events marked in orange are WIPA events, sourced directly from their official calendar, which you can subscribe to. The other events are curated from my personal feed of industry happenings around the world. Green events highlight bridal fashion weeks. Please verify all event dates with the respective organizers, as they are subject to change.

If you notice any missing or incorrect events on this calendar, please reach out to me at kristy@kristymay.com. My focus is on in-person gatherings that are open to all wedding professionals, though I also welcome the inclusion of major vendor-specific events, select vendor showcases, large virtual events, and exclusive large member-only gatherings (such as those hosted by PartySlate, Freeda, Société Privée, etc.).

By participating in these events, professionals can enhance their skills, build valuable relationships, and discover the latest trends shaping the wedding market.From wedding fashion shows that showcase the newest gown collections to workshops on marketing strategies for wedding planners, the events listed in this calendar are varied and plentiful. These events offer opportunities for continued education and business growth, often featuring guest speakers, hands-on training, and product demonstrations. Whether it’s a regional event or a large-scale international conference, my calendar helps ensure no important date is overlooked.

Networking is another key benefit. Wedding industry events provide a platform for professionals to connect with potential collaborators, share experiences, and build lasting partnerships. For vendors, this is particularly valuable in establishing credibility and visibility in a competitive market. Many events also offer businesses the ability to showcase their products or services directly to other wedding professionals through sponsorship.
