What is Women in Hospitality Conference
WIHC is a conference that brings together a community of industry professionals to learn and grow from each other. WIHC celebrates successes and empowers all women to be bold and reach for their dreams. While the hospitality industry serves as the common thread, we’re not talking about food and customer service here.  Instead, sessions will cover the development of leadership skills, achieving a healthy work-life balance and equipping attendees with strategies to tackle challenges in the professional world. WIHC is a high-energy atmosphere of workshops, networking events and mentorship.
 
A Conference for Everyone in Hospitality
We’re bringing together professionals from all corners of the hospitality industry.
  • Passionate young professionals just starting their journey
