Passport Connections - UK

If you want to connect with the right destination wedding professionals to learn and grow, Passport Connections is the place for you.

 

At Passport Connections, you'll learn:

-What today's (and tomorrow's!) couples want from Millennials to Gen Z to Gen Alpha 

-Why you aren't booking more weddings

-What you need to do to be irresistible to couples

-How to stand out in an oversaturated market

-Which locations in the world at hot right now

-What legal and cultural details you need to know when working in other countries

-and so much more!

 

Destination weddings are set to increase 300% over the next 3 years - for both domestic and international locations. This means more couples are traveling outside of where they live to get married. 

 

At Passport Connections, you'll make the right connections for your business, have candid conversations with the top wedding pros speaking there, and learn the secrets to securing partnerships, FAM trips, and getting published by the top media. 

 

In true Wedding Masterclass fashion, you will learn as much as possible to accelerate your destination weddings business all in one jam-packed 3-hour afternoon. 

 

There is no other event like this.

Passport Pro is the only US-based destination wedding industry conference. It is a full day with additional opportunities to learn and connect with the best in the destination wedding industry. The talent in one room is unmatched and the opportunities for not just meet-and-greets but real conversations abound. Passport Pro is for all categories of wedding professions: planner, florist, designer, DJ/entertainer, photographer, videographer, stationer, venue, and more.

 

State of the Wedding Industry is a local-focused event for networking, collaboration and community. Learn in a safe and inclusive space about what is trending locally and how that fits into the global and macro industry trends so you can make good decisions and partnerships for your business.

What People Are Saying:

Working with Megan through SOTWI and the Mastermind Dinners has been incredibly valuable. I originally joined for the education and networking opportunities, and those are fantastic. Hearing from industry leaders and peers about what’s happening in the events industry right now is always insightful and energizing.

But what keeps me coming back are the dinners. Those smaller, more intimate conversations create space to talk honestly about the real challenges we face as business owners. Sometimes we already know what we need to do, but saying it out loud to a room of people who truly understand the industry helps bring clarity and momentum. It’s reassuring to know you’re not alone. It’s also much more real than the fleeting five-minute conversations at conferences where everyone tends to have their guard up. These dinners allow for honest dialogue, thoughtful perspective, and meaningful connection.

Megan has created a community that is thoughtful, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping each other grow.

Colin Jaros, Groovin’ You Entertainment

I wanted to take a moment to send a huge thank you for the SOTWI and Mastermind Dinner on Monday. The event was beautiful from start to finish, and I had the chance to meet some incredible (new-to-me) faces in the wedding industry. I left the evening feeling empowered and deeply grateful for the connections that were made.   In full transparency, the industry can feel a bit clique-y at times, but SOTWI truly lives out the “leave your ego at the door” approach. As someone who tends to feel anxious in networking and social situations, I really appreciate the way you both continuously lay the groundwork to make everyone feel comfortable and at ease.   It doesn’t go unnoticed, and it makes such a difference. Thank you again for creating such a welcoming and thoughtful space for our community. 

Mariah Rudd, Event Manager, The Kimpton Gray Hotel

I knew I was excited to meet the panelists of the Hudson Valley SOTWI event, but I didn’t really know what else to expect nor could I have predicted how genuinely warm and supportive everyone would be. It started with insightful and relevant discussions, but things just got better and better with many interactive vendor experiences, activities to bond over and genuine conversations with like-minded people. The Mastermind Dinner was really where the magic happened, the smaller setting allowing for vulnerability and depth. This was my first big networking event but far from my last.  I would and have already recommended SOTWI to anyone looking to dip their toe into networking events or level up existing connections. You will learn something, you will make connections and you will have FUN!!

Sincerely thank you for reminding me why I do what I do. I started in weddings, and for over 16 years it was my passion, and this event reignited that love. It was a pleasure and honor meeting everyone.

Trevor Salse, Viibz

I’ve heard the same piece of advice many times: it’s fun to dream about working with the vendors you admire, but the real magic happens when you build alongside the people growing right next to you. I’ve been to a lot of networking events, and SOTWI is hands down the best at fostering genuine, meaningful connections with vendors who are in it together. If I didn’t know Megan and her unparalleled ability to spark conversation and make everyone feel welcome, I’d assume there must be some kind of magic in the air. Being part of the vendor team for SOTWI Brooklyn was such an honor and an incredible experience. I got to work with vendors I’ve connected with at past SOTWI events, deepen those relationships, and help create something valuable for the community. Getting to be in the room for the education, the conversations, and the connection is always energizing but also getting a chance to sharpen my skills and share my work on top of that brings the experience to another level. You can feel how each SOTWI brings people closer, opens doors, and reminds you that we really do go farther together.

Wow Wow! [This] was truly an amazing and invaluable experience.  Thank you so much for the opportunity to connect and engage with some of the top wedding professionals in the area.  I'm so grateful to have met you, I can see your passion behind this work and it's amazing to see.

Christina M. Crowder, Inspired Events by Christina

There is power in coming together to learn and meet creative entrepreneurs at different levels. The energy I get when attending a conference like Passport is like no other, and it leaves me coming away feeling motivated, focused, and excited about experiencing new levels of breakthrough in my business. 

-Garrett Richardson, Photographer

Once again, thank you to everyone who made the event possible. I'm grateful for the connections made and the knowledge shared, and I'm already looking forward to the next opportunity to gather with such talented group of professionals.
