Adapting to the new world order, the fraternity is all set to witness its first ever virtual wedding fair, The World of Weddings (TWOW), a 3-day experiential affair from 23rd to 25th October, 2020.

Speaking about the wedding fair, Manoj Gopalani, Co-Curator, TWOW said, “In order to counter the challenges that have befallen in recent times, being innovative is the need of the hour. Virtual events have become a new normal and will continue to go through iterations to create an experience like no other. The inception of The World of Weddings’ concept stems from the very thought of curating an opportune platform that will not only benefit wedding curators, designers, associates or industry experts but also probable couples and their families. It is a great way to network with the right partners through an immersive, yet intimate engagement that is also cost effective. The key takeaway is to make the magic of weddings a reality even in the virtual world.”
The virtual extravaganza revolves around three pillars; experience, engage and evolve with the modern world of weddings. Experience the carefully curated products and services, engage with industry experts, be abreast about the latest wedding trends, expand business opportunities, explore the bigger picture and evolve with the ever-changing realm of the industry.
“TWOW will fill the void we are currently experiencing. It is the perfect platform that brings together everyone in the wedding industry. What sets us apart is the reach of B2B2C. With opportunities to connect not only with brides and grooms, but we have curated a panel of the best in the industry to allow them to connect and collaborate with one another in this 3D immersive platform”, adds Neha Seth Arora, Co-Curator, TWOW.
