My Favorite Finds at the Wedding MBA Convention in Las Vegas

I am always on the lookout for new trends and ideas to elevate the weddings I help create for my clients. Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the Wedding MBA convention in Las Vegas, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer! Today, I am excited to share with you five of my favorite takeaways from the convention!


First and foremost, the explosive growth of AI technology in the event industry is both fascinating and promising. One particular tool that caught my eye is Cruise Control, a platform that harnesses AI to automate text reminders, reviews, and social media engagement. The potential for tailored automation in event planning is immense, and I can't wait to dive into all of my trials to see how it can enhance our services.


The 2025 trends unveiled at the convention had me buzzing with excitement. I was particularly thrilled to see the comeback of cakes! Yes, wedding cakes! While recent weddings have embraced fun dessert bar concepts featuring decadent cupcakes and cookies, the elegant appeal of an artful, delicious cake simply brings me joy.


Another highlight was learning how to incorporate luxury design elements into weddings without breaking the bank. The cost-saving ideas shared were practical and well-suited for creating a lavish look on a budget. It's all about finding the perfect balance between luxury and affordability to deliver unforgettable events that exceed expectations.


Social media presence is crucial for any business, and wedding and event planning is no exception. A key insight I gained was the importance of diversifying our presence across various platforms, with a particular consideration on spending time on TikTok. I was amazed by the affordability of TikTok videos, prompting me to launch a new Intrust Events TikTok account soon. Stay tuned for behind-the-scenes peeks and exclusive content!


Last but certainly not least, my “wow” moment at the convention was witnessing a drink service robot in action. Imagine a robot effortlessly pouring glasses of wine – it was like a glimpse into the future of event services! While I don't foresee having a drink service robot at one of my weddings just yet, the innovation and technology filled me with excitement for what's to come.


Attending the Wedding MBA convention was an amazing experience that left me inspired and eager to bring new ideas into my work at Intrust Events. From AI apps to creative seating arrangements and an expanded social media strategy, 2025 is filled with possibility. Cheers to the exciting journey ahead!
