Join us on Tuesday, October 14th, from 6:00 pm-8:30 pm at The BEV Event Center in Kissimmee for a bold and beautiful evening of connection, creativity, and curated networking for Central Florida wedding pros.

With a theme inspired by Wicked and The Wizard of Oz, this immersive event invites you to step into a world where good and misunderstood collide, and where the yellow brick road leads to something more valuable than just leads – real relationships.

Whether you’re Glinda, Elphaba, or somewhere in between, you’ll find your people here. Expect stunning details, great conversation, and a presentation that just might change the way you network forever.

So grab your ticket, click your heels, and follow the magic—because this is the kind of night that will stay with you long after the last goodbye.
