Women in Travel & Hospitality Conference
2024 Review
On March 7, 2024, we gathered exceptional women in travel, tourism, and hospitality as we embraced our vulnerabilities, shared our stories, and rallied for an open-minded and open-hearted future for our industry. The theme is:
Empowering Change: Reclamation in Travel, Tourism, and Hospitality
There was in-person facilitated networking, as well as an exclusive platform where all participants were able to connect with fellow professionals. Some moments sparked revolutionary ideas, and the groundwork for the future took place.

Grace McBride, Founder & CEO of Lucia shared, “I wanted to extend my deepest gratitude for inviting me to what has undoubtedly become my favorite conference experience to date. Simply put, wow! The atmosphere you cultivated was nothing short of inspiring, and the caliber of women you brought together was truly exceptional.
The discussions and conversations you facilitated were not only thought-provoking but also incredibly enlightening. It was a privilege to be part of such meaningful exchanges. I wholeheartedly believe that this event is a cornerstone for every woman in our industry, and I commend you both for orchestrating such a remarkable gathering.
I am filled with pride to have been included and immensely grateful for the opportunity. I eagerly anticipate the next installment and look forward to what promises to be another enriching experience.”
