The gates are open!

Join us as we Race for the Roses, a true Kentucky Derby style celebration, where inspiration gallops. Don your most colorful Derby duds for an exciting day of networking and education from some of the wedding industry’s most accomplished names.

In the Winners Circle
Stepping into a refined Derby-day garden party, you’ll spend the day in our exclusive Winners Circle lounge — all the thrill of the grandstands, but with better seats and even better company.

Our speaker lineup reads like a who’s who of the industry’s front runners:

Akeshi Akinseye — Kesh Events
Calder Clark — Calder Clark
Victoria & Amanda Dubin — Victoria Dubin Events
Abby Jiu — Duet Social Media
Julian Leaver — Julian Leaver Events

Expect a full day of keynotes and candid Q&A with the people who’ve already won the race.

On the Track
We move to the track for a beautifully appointed lunch by the culinary team at Triple Crown Radnor with Fearless Events, with Derby-themed refreshments flowing graciously throughout the day.

Derby After Dark
The real party begins after the race is run. Stay for Derby After Dark — a trip back to horse racing’s heyday. Place your bets and remember: the house always wins, but the well-connected have more fun.

Dress Code
Style Guide
Derby chic: where the fashion is just as fun as the race. Think bold patterns and bright colors.
