SAN FRANCISCO, CA • February 8, 2016

WedTech Summit is the first wedding conference to look behind the veil, cupcakes, and champagne bubbles to reveal a goldmine of killer apps, platforms and wearables — and showcase what drives this 330B global market. WedTech seeks to serve as a blueprint for the future of wedding conferences — all focused on the digitally engaged millennial couple.

Carolyn Gerin, Co-Founder, WedTech states:

From banks and brands, to VC’s I keep getting the same question: ‘the wedding industry is recession-proof. Why didn’t WedTech happen earlier?’ We believe that when most people look at the wedding space they see a big ball of interconnected wire. We see it clearly: 25 or more individual market verticals around which social storytelling, monetization, and innovation can take place. Wedtech developers are addressing these verticals, solving simple problems, and saving people time and money. We planted our flag, and the apps, platforms and thought leaders that drive wedtech are coming to us because now have somewhere to go. These developers are focusing on the digitally engaged millennial couple who do everything ‘in app.’

WedTech Summit loves Maui for our 3rd conference because the entire economy is built around wedding, romance travel, and hospitality. Plus, the Maui Mayors’ Office of Economic Development, Royal Lahaina Resort, and the High Technology Development Corporation backed us from the start — with Aloha spirit.

WedTech Summit (WTS) Maui is the conference that joins the Wedding/Hospitality Industry with hot upcoming Silicon Valley Tech Startups and Brands. The event will takes place at the Royal Lahaina Resort on Feb 22 – 23, 2016 where attendees can network, explore, and learn the trends driving the future of the Wedding Industry. Over 350 wedding professionals, hospitality companies, wedpros, tech startups, app and platform founders, brands, investors, and businesses will convene in the wedding paradise of the Pacific.  Two days of action packed panels, hands on workshops, and networking at the stunning Royal Lahaina Resort. Inspir-action! Trends, workshops on tricks and tools to run your business better, and power networking with future partners and media. See the innovations driving the 330B wedding industry at www.wedtechsummit.com .
