The Women Leading Travel Forum offers women executives at leading travel and hospitality brands the opportunity to improve both their professional lives and business strategies.

The invitation-only Forum enables attendees access to powerful presentations and keynotes from travel and hospitality leaders and other inspirational women on everything from how to be a great leader to the latest and greatest travel and hospitality trends and technologies.

Attendees at this unique event share best practices with new contacts and old friends, discuss industry issues, and find inspiration around how to conquer challenges in both their personal and professional lives.

‘It’s a reminder of what makes our community so special: shared strength, mutual support and the drive to rise - together.’
– Nicole Rogers, EVP & Chief Sales Officer, San Francisco Travel Association

'Nowhere else in our industry will you find a few hundred women comfortable talking about balancing work, life, caring for aging parents and young adults, and advocating for ourselves in a man’s world.’
– Stephanie Liedholm, Integrity Tours
