Award-winning wedding industry speaker Meghan Ely has spent 17+ years traveling to conferences and workshops globally, educating the event industry on a variety of topics, including wedding publicity, reputation management and trends. NACE named her Speaker of the Year and more recently, RSVP Club honored her as 2025 Favorite Educator.
For 12 years, Meghan connected conference organizers and association program and education chairs with a roster of exceptional speakers from across the wedding industry through WeddingIndustrySpeakers.com.
Since 2021, she has led the Wedding Industry Speakers Course each year, which teaches emerging speakers everything they didn’t even know they needed to know about speaking. In addition, she regularly works one-on-one with wedding professionals who want to accelerate their speaking career.
On a limited basis, Meghan works with conference organizers to coach the speakers they’ve selected in preparation for their event. She also trains association directors on best practices for finding, vetting, and booking speakers so their chapter members can benefit from the best education possible.

Meghan Ely’s Current Topics
Recent Events
I have sat in a lot of conference rooms, and very few speakers make you feel like you just got handed a roadmap. Meghan is one of them. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing her speak at multiple conferences, including one where she stepped in last-minute to replace another speaker and absolutely knocked it out of the park, which honestly tells you everything you need to know about her expertise and composure.
