Happy Attendees Say It Best
“What greater way to celebrate Women’s History month than attending and supporting the Women in Tourism and Hospitality conference. It is a well-needed and necessary conference that is dedicated to recognizing women for their leadership, achievements, and profound impact in shaping the future of our industry. It also allows for us to pave the way for inclusive excellence and transformative change for our future women leaders.”
“I knew the Women in Tourism & Hospitality National Conference would be something special immediately after meeting Clara Carter for the first time and feeling how much passion she radiates for the event she’s built from the ground up. It was contagious to the point that, after just one conversation with Clara, she made me feel passionate about it, too. When Clara asked me to attend the 2024 WITH Conference as a guest speaker, it was an opportunity I was beyond honored to say yes to—and I am so happy I did.
After attending the 2024 WITH Conference, I completely understand why Carter’s celebration continues to grow year after year. The crowd was overwhelmingly friendly and supportive, interested in learning more about their colleagues’ careers and offering whatever they could to help them reach their goals. Every attendee had something wonderful to say about all the others—from how much they loved someone’s powerful pantsuit to how inspired they are by someone’s work in the industry. Networking was abundant, and the conversations I had and connections I made were incredibly genuine.
It was undeniable that everyone at the 2024 WITH Conference was there for the same reason: to help other women in tourism and hospitality grow.”
“Inspiring, informative and utterly empowering - that’s how I’d summarize this year’s conference! What an honor to be in a room filled with such powerful and trailblazing women in our industry. From dynamic panel discussions, engaging breakout sessions and keynote speakers that left you feeling like you can take on the world….one day just wasn’t enough!
What an amazing day watching women come together and uplift one another so we can continue to make our industry great! Thank you Clara Carter, CDMP for creating this phenomenal event. Thank you Omni San Diego Hotel for giving me the opportunity to attend. And thank you to the women far and wide for showing up and showing out every single day in our industry! ”
“Clara, you did an outstanding job putting the WITH Conference together. The opening song Circle of Life, set the tone for a highly successful event with a large number of attendees from all over the country...You simply killed it!!!”
“Congratulations on a very successful conference. The sessions were outstanding, and it was very well organized. The DEI session was very timely and well done and great format for the awards ceremony.
Congrats again.”
“I was at the WITH Conference on Friday and just wanted to thank you for your hard work putting it all together. I left so inspired and with so many new ideas to apply in my personal and professional life. Will definitely try to make it next year as well. Thank you again!”
We look forward to seeing you at our 2025 WITH Conference!
