Engage!26 The Puglia Experience

Precisely ten years after our first European event here, we will return to Southern Italy for Engage!26 The Puglia Experience, taking place November 2-5, 2026. Hosted at the enchanting Borgo Egnazia, this extraordinary experience will welcome 250 attendees to the heart of Puglia, where timeless landscapes, whitewashed villages, and centuries-old olive groves create an unforgettable backdrop. Guests will savor authentic Italian hospitality, indulge in the region’s rich culinary traditions, and immerse themselves in the soulful beauty of this celebrated destination. Get ready for an inspiring journey like “nowhere else!”

Engage! is designed for committed wedding industry professionals looking for innovative ideas and practical solutions for strategic growth. It is dedicated to gathering the best of the best and is limited to 250 speakers and attendees. Careful attention is paid to creating an intimate atmosphere that blends structure and downtime, allowing for candid networking in a non-client, non-competitive environment. The open exchange of ideas, information, and strategies for facing the challenges of the luxury wedding industry is a hallmark of the event – often imitated, never duplicated.

Borgo Egnazia

  • Named "Best Hotel of the Year" by Virtuoso
  • Nestled in the Itria Valley, between the blue Adriatic Sea and endless, ancient olive groves
  • A visionary and contemporary interpretation of Apulian tradition

Borgo Egnazia is the perfect place to seek new inspiration and discover how to achieve mental and physical wellbeing through experiences related to nature and local culture. A unique destination to begin a true regeneration process, gaining benefits that go beyond the mere pleasure of travel. A complete and personalised vision of wellbeing, combined with a hospitality style focused on local experiences, the perfect combination of Puglian traditions, and the constant search for innovation. All year round, in all seasons, Borgo Egnazia invites each guest to discover new passions through connections with the local
culture, customs, and people.

It’s Borgo Egnazia. It’s Nowhere Else.

As a chronic entrepreneur, with more ideas than sense most days, but having equal and opposite love of the “Business-y” side of business, I’m not an easy peg to put in the board. This conference simply gets me, and lights every single one of my flames.

What struck me the most was the love and attention to detail the entire Engage! team took to expose us to the local flavors and culture. The hospitality was warm and welcoming and as always, it’s amazing to connect with old friends and meet new ones!
