The Wedding Industry Trade Show |
 |
Wedding Industry Trade Show
Noon-4:30pm
May 17, 2006
Diamond Oaks Country Club
Unlike the
typical shows that Bridal Shows, Inc. produces, the
Wedding Industry Trade Show is not
a bridal consumer show, but a trade show with
wedding professionals as the attendees instead of
brides.
It is an opportunity
for professionals in the same area of work to meet
each other, network, discuss changing trends, and
gain helpful information to achieve growth in their
business.
Although this first Wedding Industry Trade Show will
be small, we are confident it will continue to grow
each year to be a valued source for building
businesses in the wedding industry.
80 attendees made up of wedding-related companies
have already registered. The trade show will have a
conference type atmosphere and will provide three
seminars, networking games, an optional buffet
lunch, door prizes, and exhibitors geared towards
helping you achieve further growth in your business.
If you wish to grow your wedding business and want
to network with other professoinals then register to attend the Wedding
Industry Trade Show today!!
If you or someone you know may be interested in
exhibiting to wedding businesses, contact us
by emailing info@bridalshowsinc.com.
For more information on trade shows, see "Naomi's
Notes."

Naomi's Notes:"What is a Trade Show?" by Naomi Hulme |
 |
This article is to help some of you who may have
questions regarding the upcoming Wedding Industry
Trade Show. Trade Shows are normally not open to
the public—only to specific industries. The Wedding
Industry Trade Show is not a bridal show. Brides will
not be attending the trade show at all. This trade
show is for anyone wanting to build a wedding
business. For nineteen years now, our goal has been
to help build businesses. This event is another step
in that direction. Many industries have found the
benefit for trade show across the country.We will
work diligently each year to
bring you new products and vendors to the market
so that you have the best of all opportunities.
Even though there is so much information available
on the internet, a trade show gives you the
opportunity to learn directly from a vendor who can
help you learn about new products, options that are
available to you, details, immediate answers to
questions, and helping you with solutions to certain
challenges you may be having.
This trade show is a business to business conference
to give wedding businesses insights into enhancing
and growing their business through informative
seminars and exhibits. This will also be a fun
opportunity to network with other wedding
businesses through the networking games at the
trade show and win some fabulous door prizes. The
Bridal Shows, Inc. booth will have many business
books to give away as prizes to those of you would
like to learn more.
This is a great opportunity to network with other
businesses. Bring lots of business cards.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the first
Wedding Industry Trade Show.
