There’ll be a Kickoff Party to ring in the event, followed by the popular semi-annual VOW Fashion Show. This takes place on Wednesday, March 29, in the Fashion Theatre on Floor 15 of Building 3, and guests can expect fun, music, giveaways, fabulous fashion, food, and cocktails.

As for education, on Monday, March 27 from 12PM-8PM, the Mon Cheri Academy will feature speakers Mike Ebrahimi of SYVO and Wedding Fashion Expert, Nayri Kalayjian of Lovella Bridal Boutique who will offer business advice specific to the industry.

(Sessions will be offered in both English and Spanish for the first time this March!)
