Updated: October 1, 2026

Whether you’re embracing FOMO or JOMO, the wedding industry has an exciting lineup of events this year.
This well-curated wedding industry in person event calendar is a vital resource for professionals seeking to stay ahead of the curve. I’m so excited to share it with you!
Attending wedding industry events by WIPA, Engage Summits, RSVP and Emerge Collective and more is a fantastic way to grow your business while having fun! These events offer a perfect mix of networking, learning, and relaxation, making them ideal for both personal and professional development.
I’ve decided to remove the calendars. It was too much to keep up with al the date changes! Always verify on the organization’s site
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.). For more details on these organizations, visit this page.
