Are you tired of going to the same old networking events? Mingle. A cocktail. Repeat. - Us too. That is why we created the Emerge Event Collective.
We know that networking seems daunting. You are a busy and successful event pro who wants to be challenged with in depth education and conversations, innovative networking events, and more than the everyday meetups. One that helps you raise the bar not only in our industry, but in your business.
We've combined innovative and inspiring networking events, industry leading education and speakers, industry leading designers for our events, and online advertising to create a new kind of event collective. One that feels like family. Where we spend time getting to know one another on a personal level doing interactive activities that allow you to experience things as humans.
We believe that authentic personal relationships lead to authentic business relationships.

We believe in fostering an environment of kindness in our industry - one where egos are checked at the door and it feels like family. We believe that collective experiences allow us to connect as humans on a personal level and personal connections lead to the best possible business connections. We combine industry leading experience based networking, education, advertising, and an online community to create a robust support system for wedding and event professionals around the world. All with a mission of giving back to our industry and communities we impact.
Our Values and BELIef statement
While our conversations, education, and events are geared towards the luxury and high end event professional, we have members who are luxury and those trying to up level their business. In short, we welcome all professionals that meet our requirements with open arms, though the price point of our events and our content are geared towards the high end and luxury markets. We feel our group is most beneficial for companies working with budgets at least $100k (total event budget) on a consistent basis or more or at least $1000/guest.
Is this community right for you?
Where are your events
Emerge gatherings take place twice monthly online and throughout North America in person—offering intentional opportunities to connect, grow, and lead from wherever you are.We currently host events across nine regional collectives that cover all 50 U.S. states, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. From intimate dinners and retreats, each experience is rooted in our values of authenticity, connection, and elevated community. No matter your location, there's a seat at the table waiting.
How often do we meet?
We have monthly round table discussion - online events as well as bonus online speed networking events. We are planning 4 larger scale, multi-day events as well as intimate dinners and activities in areas where our members reside and industry professionals gather plus pop up events throughout major cities in the US.
what is the difference between you and an association or conference?
We are a privately held company dedicated to transforming networking in the luxury wedding and event industry. Our focus is on connection over anything else. By prioritizing kindness and collaboration, we create opportunities for authentic connections. Our focus is on experience-driven, in-person events tailored to high-end professionals, complemented by advanced education and monthly interactive online meetups. Members also gain access to a supportive Facebook forum for sharing referrals, asking questions, and fostering community.
Is this only for wedding professionals?
While we do have a lot of wedding professionals, Emerge has always been open to all event professionals and we are adding a lot of corporate and social event professionals, DMCs, and event staff that do other types of events to our membership.

I have throughly enjoyed making the connections I have and working on opportunities I would have otherwise not been privy to! As an entrepreneur, it is nice being able to surround yourself with people who care about their professions and the work they put out there. Proud to be a part of such a great group!"

"We are coming up on our one year anniversary and I know it has been one of the best investments I've made for my business. The vendor relationships we've grown over the last year are worth their weight in gold! We love being able to warm-refer clients to people we know personally, who operate at the same standards that we do, and provide top-notch services. It truly is a family environment for the crazy chaotic industry we work in which provides a safe place to grow personally and professionally."
