New connections, inspiring conversations and a chance to share our passion for live events: Kudos AV was delighted to attend the International MICE & Wedding Forum (IMWF) in Turkey as an exhibitor. Bringing our team together with the international events community, the visit was a valuable opportunity to build relationships and explore ideas for future collaborations.

A global meeting point in Turkey

The ninth edition of IMWF took place from 28-31 October 2026 at Anda Barut Collection in Didim, Türkiye. The invitation-based forum brings together professionals from the meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions sector, alongside destination wedding planners, hotels, venues and event specialists.

Its programme combines business meetings, industry discussions and shared social experiences. That mix creates space for introductions to develop beyond a quick exchange of business cards, with time to discover the people, ideas and destinations behind future events.

Exhibiting, meeting and making connections

For Kudos AV, exhibiting at IMWF was an opportunity to introduce our work, spend time with industry peers and explore where we could work together. The networking was a real highlight, from conversations around the meeting tables to the more relaxed moments between sessions.

Great events depend on people who understand one another. Meeting face to face gives those relationships a stronger starting point: a chance to listen, exchange ideas and understand what matters to the people planning the next celebration, conference or live experience.

We brought the perspective of a team working across sound, lighting, video, staging, scenic design and print. Whether a brief starts with a room, a creative concept or an ambitious show moment, collaboration is central to how we bring it to life.

Connections beyond the meeting tables

The shared experiences around the forum were another highlight. Away from the exhibition floor, the evening gatherings gave everyone a chance to continue conversations, get to know one another and enjoy the occasion together.

Bringing the experience home

Thank you to the IMWF organisers, our hosts and everyone who took the time to meet us. We left with new connections, fresh inspiration and plenty of conversations to continue.

If we met in Turkey, we would love to pick up where we left off. If you are discovering Kudos AV for the first time, talk to our team about your next event and explore the work we create.
