EPEX 2025 Marks 10 Years As The Definitive Platform For MICE & Destination Events

The Experiential Planner Expo (EPEX) proudly celebrates a decade of shaping the future of global events, destination weddings, MICE, and experiential travel. As it enters its 10th milestone edition, EPEX 2025 reaffirms its position as the premier B2B platform connecting the world’s top event suppliers with high-value buyers across India, the Middle East, the UK, and Russia/CIS.

Over the past ten years, EPEX has become synonymous with curated business meetings, strategic networking, and immersive brand showcases. The 2025 edition will see a renewed emphasis on the UK market, bringing new wedding and event planners to the show, alongside a continued focus on MICE, luxury celebrations, association congresses, and immersive group experiences.

EPEX 2025 will feature a compelling mix of international exhibitors, including:

  • Leading hotel groups from UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Oman, Turkey
