About this Event

The wedding industry has undergone significant transformations, requiring pros to adjust their approach on many levels. Priorities have changed, and so has this new generation of couples that we’ll be seeing on our rosters for the year ahead. In this session, industry expert Meghan Ely will walk attendees through the state of the business of weddings as we know it today, and the impactful measures necessary to thrive in this evolving landscape.

  • Thriving in the New Era: Learn how to adapt your strategies to cater to the changing needs and expectations of your clients.
