July 16, 2026 - Westlake Village Inn Westlake Village, CA
A day designed for connection, power & growth
A gathering like no other.
On July 16, 2026, the TIEWN Women in Travel & Hospitality Conference returns, bringing together women from across the travel and hospitality industry for a day rooted in connection, growth, and community.
THE THEME FOR 2026:
IN THE ROOM: The Long Game of Leadership is an intentionally designed gathering for women who are building careers, companies, and legacies that last. Rooted in The Inner Circle, this conference prioritizes trust, proximity, and meaningful connection. Through a Built, Not Branded lens, conversations focus on substance over performance and strategy over sound bites. Every session is guided by the principle of Depth Over Noise, creating space for honest dialogue, shared wisdom, and real growth. This is leadership for those committed to playing The Long Game — together.
Building on the spirit of past gatherings, this year’s conference is being thoughtfully curated to foster meaningful conversations, fresh perspectives, and deepened relationships. From our opening moments together through the evening celebration, every detail is designed with intention.
More than a conference, TIEWN is a true community—a space where leadership feels expansive, intuitive, and deeply human. It’s a place to come as you are, to listen and be heard, and to connect with women shaping the future of travel and hospitality.
We invite you to join us for a day that honors authenticity, collaboration, and shared momentum, and to be part of something that continues to evolve year after year.
