Following the remarkable success of its inaugural edition, India's Best Wedding Makers (IBWM), the flagship platform by The Great Indian Wedding Book (TGIWB), is set to return in an all-new, expanded format. Taking place on 29-30 August 2026 at the JIO World Convention Centre, Mumbai, IBWM Conclave 2026 marks the platform's evolution into a two-day celebration dedicated to the business, creativity, and future of India's luxury wedding industry.
Curated in partnership with Copper Events, with Prateek Tandon, Co-Founder and Director of the company, the two-day conclave will bring together the country's most distinguished wedding professionals, visionary entrepreneurs, hospitality leaders, designers, artists, and creators under one roof. This year's conclave promises an immersive experience that goes beyond networking, creating a platform where conversations, collaborations, and industry-defining ideas come to life.
The expanded two-day format will feature engaging panel discussions, insightful keynote sessions, curated networking experiences, and exclusive showcases highlighting the trends shaping the future of luxury weddings. The conclave will also serve as a meeting point for the industry's leading decision-makers, making it one of the most anticipated gatherings on the Indian wedding calendar.
One of the biggest highlights of the conclave will be the unveiling of the IBWM Powerlist, recognising the country's most influential names across the luxury wedding landscape. The event will also witness the launch of the latest edition of The Great Indian Wedding Book, the globally recognised luxury wedding coffee table publication that continues to showcase India's finest wedding talent.
Adding to the excitement will be an evening of celebrity presenters, red-carpet glamour, and grand celebrations, bringing together icons from the worlds of weddings, entertainment, fashion, and business. With its expanded format and larger vision, IBWM aims to establish itself not only as the country's premier wedding industry platform but also as a cultural and lifestyle event that resonates across business, digital, lifestyle, and entertainment media.
As India's luxury wedding industry continues to evolve, IBWM Conclave 2026 is poised to become the definitive destination for celebrating excellence, fostering meaningful collaborations, and recognising the individuals and brands shaping the future of modern Indian weddings.
