The second edition of EVOQUE opened in Jaipur on October 8, bringing together professionals from the hospitality, wedding and event industries. Organised by the Association of Event Entrepreneurs (AEE), the three-day event is being held at Jaipur Marriott Hotel and is scheduled to conclude on October 10.

EVOQUE 2026 is designed to bring different parts of the hospitality and wedding ecosystem onto one platform. According to the organisers, this includes destination wedding planners, event managers, hotels, wedding service providers and businesses working in related sectors. The event aims to encourage networking, collaboration and business connections among participants.
Jaipur’s wedding and hospitality sector in focus
The organisers say the event also aims to showcase Jaipur and Rajasthan’s culture, heritage and hospitality, as well as the region’s potential as a destination for weddings. Jaipur attracts visitors and industry professionals for tourism, hospitality and wedding events, making it a relevant setting for a gathering focused on these sectors.
Participants at EVOQUE include representatives from hotels and hospitality businesses, event planning, wedding services, decoration and design, tourism and allied industries. The event brings these groups together to exchange ideas and explore possible professional connections.
Three days of industry interaction
Over the three-day programme, participants are expected to have opportunities for business networking, knowledge exchange and discussions around potential collaborations and partnerships. The organisers describe EVOQUE as a platform for connecting stakeholders across the wedding and hospitality sectors.
The event’s focus spans hospitality, destination weddings, event management and tourism. Its format is intended to help participants meet professionals from related fields and identify areas for future business engagement.
The organisers expect the gathering to support the development of Rajasthan’s hospitality and wedding industries and to strengthen Jaipur’s profile as a destination for weddings and hospitality. EVOQUE 2026 continues through October 10 at Jaipur Marriott Hotel.
