🚀 WEVA LAUNCH PARTY 🚀
On Monday, November 6th over 100 venue owners and operators and a few select incredible sponsors gathered in Las Vegas to help launch WEVA! It was a really incredible night of delicious Italian food, drinks (including a custom cocktail called the “WEVA Las Vegas”), and most importantly connecting with other like minded professionals in the venue industry!
The ultimate Opportunity to network with top industry professionals, grow your community, and accelerate your venue Success
The WEVA Launch Party was a sold out event introducing the association to the venue community and this is just the beginning! For way to long, venue owners and operators haven’t had the support, representation, and most importantly the resources and education to make the best and biggest impact in our industry as a while and WEVA is here to change that! Thanks for joining us! We can’t wait to see you all at a local event soon!
Thank you to our generous sponsors
Our journey to shape the future of the wedding and event venue industry is made possible by our incredible sponsors. Thank you for joining us on this pivotal venture and believing in the mission and vision of this community!

Introducing the Mopit, a cordless floor scrubber machine that makes maintaining commercial, retail, and venue floors a breeze! The Mopit cleans the average size venue in 10 minutes and leaves the floor dry! It's easy on your back, cordless and portable. It's perfect for spot mopping sticky spills or scrubbing an entire floor. It delivers the cleaning solution on demand, with a gravity fed water delivery system. The controls are conveniently placed on the dash board.
