wedding business symposiumThe WEDDEX, written by renowned wedding industry expert Rebecca Grinnals of Engaging Concepts, is one of my must-read blogs. So you can imagine my excitement when Rebecca asked me to speak on a panel, along with Christine Boulton from Think Like A Bride, at engage!08, a high-impact wedding business symposium for wedding professionals serving the luxury and destination weddings market.

The other speakers include Preston Bailey, Marcy Blum, Rebecca Grinnals, Simon T. Bailey, and Susan Moynihan. Here's some of what will be covered:

"Join some of the industry's best known experts for candid conversation on the business of building and growing your wedding brand. Highlights include:

* Secrets to their success
* Building a global wedding brand
* Diversifying your business
* Targeting [and managing!] the affluent bride and groom
* Insights into the mindset of millennial matrimony
* Blogging and leveraging new media for wedding business
* Turning your passion into profit
* 'Romancing' the destination bride"

The symposium is open to any wedding professional targeting the luxury market, not just wedding consultants.

I totally know who she is. I met her through networking on facebook. I'll have to send her message and let her know that you sent me. I can't even look at your next post!

I want everything about the SATC movie to be a surprise:). I won't even watch the trailer. I can't wait.

Thanks for the compliments and stopping by my blog. I'm super excited about what God is doing.

thanks guys! :)

beth, it's funny, I never really got into SATC when it was on the air. It wasn't until it was in syndication that I actually watched a full episode and liked it. I'm curious to see what the movie will be like. :)
