Rejoice! The Women in Travel extravaganza is back!

Travel Weekly’s own Women in Travel event is back with a bang for 2017, except this year it’s even better than last year.

Not only are we bringing back the incredible gala awards night to celebrate the best females in the business, complete with inspiring keynote speakers, but we’re now launching a female-centric forum during the day to share insights, inspire each other, and move towards a more equal future.

Attendees to the WIT forum will have the chance to take part in speed mentoring with powerhouses from across the travel industry and up-close exposure to highly successful, inspiring women and men.

We know, it’s a lot to take in. So let’s break it down.

Women in Travel Forum

Monday, 27 November 2017
Doltone House, Darling Island

Attendees will not only take part in speed mentoring, but also get involved in coaching sessions to equip them in the skills and mindsets they need to do their bit to change the ratio.

Every person should walk away with at least one step they can take immediately to contribute to the promotion of women in travel.

The day will kick off at 9am, with a keynote speech from a (soon to be announced) powerhouse woman.

Speed mentoring will see small groups rotating every 20 minutes to meet a different mentor, before numerous masterclasses kick off in the afternoon following lunch.

You can buy earlybird tickets HERE.
