Engage! brings together leaders in the luxury wedding industry, from celebrity planners to luxury lifestyle experts to creative entrepreneurs offering unique insights on business strategies and life balance. Return engagees take special care to welcome first-time attendees and friendships are created and strengthened as busy pros take a break from serving others to share their own successes and challenges with like-minded, high-caliber peers from the wedding and events community.

As a vital aspect of the program which is limited to only 100 like-minded industry leaders, we will host peer-facilitated round table conversations to guide us forward, focusing on the most relevant and essential topics for this high-level group. Additionally, we will welcome internationally acclaimed facilitators to lead an array of unique sessions throughout the three days. Each facilitator’s approach is centered around helping you build emotional strength and discipline ultimately leading to greater self-awareness, confidence, and performance.

Engage! is not the conference to hold you captive in a ballroom! Attendees will be immersed in the seaside town of Taormina with opportunities to stroll the local food market for fresh arancini and refreshing granita, visit the ancient Greek theatre with spectacular Mt. Etna as its background, indulge in shopping and delicious cuisine with sea sweeping views for which Sicily is known.

This wonderfully preserved amphitheater, with Mount Etna as its backdrop, is every bit as captivating as the performances staged there. Grand Hotel Timeo was the first hotel in Taormina, built just a stone’s throw from fascinating ancient architecture. Harnessing the same mythic energy and historical significance of Taormina itself, it is a place where history evolves with our storied surroundings.
