In the fast-paced world of event management, hands-on experience and industry connections can make all the difference. At Team.i, we understand the importance of real-world opportunities for our students. That’s why we were thrilled to see our event management students immerse themselves in the SIWPC event in Hyderabad on June 14th and 15th.
The Event: SIWPC (South India Wedding Planners’ Conference) is a prestigious event in the wedding and event management industry. It brings together top professionals, experts, and influencers to discuss trends, share insights, and network with peers. The conference aims to inspire, educate, and connect professionals in the wedding and event management space.
SIWPC 2024 was held on 14th and 15th June in Hyderabad, and it was a landmark event in the industry. With over 43 top industry experts in attendance, including renowned wedding planners, event managers, designers, and vendors, the conference offered a unique platform for our students to learn from the best in the business.
Our students had the opportunity to attend keynote speeches, panel discussions, and workshops conducted by these industry experts. They gained insights into the latest trends and technologies in event management, learned about innovative approaches to event planning and execution, and got a firsthand look at the inner workings of the industry.
One of the highlights of the event was the networking opportunities it provided. Our students were able to interact with the speakers and other professionals, exchanging ideas and building connections that will be invaluable as they start their careers in event management.
The conference also featured an expo where leading vendors showcased their products and services. Our students had the chance to explore the latest event technologies, décor trends, and catering options, giving them a comprehensive understanding of the event management ecosystem.
As part of the conference, there were also networking dinners and social events where our students were able to further connect with industry professionals in a more relaxed setting. These interactions not only helped our students expand their professional network but also gave them a glimpse into the camaraderie and community spirit that defines the event management industry.
Overall, SIWPC 2024 was a transformative experience for our students. It not only provided them with valuable knowledge and skills but also inspired them to aim higher and dream bigger in their careers.
