Wedding MBA 2014 : Recap & Overview
This was my first year attending the Wedding MBA Convention in Las Vegas. I was unsure of what to expect since the ticket price was so low ($250) for a 3-day convention. There were over 60 sessions that could be attended over the three days. I went to all that I could each day and I have picked my favorites to share with you.
Day one started with four keynote speeches. Topics included marketing, using technology to reach nearly weds, business finance, and what’s next in tech. The major takeaways from keynote addresses were:
After the keynotes, there were 3-4 sessions to choose from each hour and a few times per day there were a series of 10 minute WED Talks. Some of the takeaways from my four favorites were:
WED Talk: Turn # into Money
Session: Misinformed – Handling the Bride’s Pre-Conceptions
WED Talk: Charging What You Are Worth – When to Raise Prices
Session: Wedding Confidential – From Appointment to Reception
There were many more amazing workshops/sessions that could be delved into. I would recommend attending this conference at least once for wedding planners who would like to learn more about marketing their business.
