Introducing the Women Leading Travel Leadership Exchanges Series

Travel's women leaders have plenty of stages to speak from and few rooms built for them to think in. The Women Leading Travel Leadership Exchanges close that gap. Skift is building the Exchanges as a leadership series for the women running operations, marketing, commercial and talent across hospitality, aviation, cruise and destinations, at the director level and above, in different cities.

What Makes A WLT Leadership Exchange Different

Each Exchange gathers around 150 women executives in one room, and everyone clears the same seniority bar. That is the difference. An Exchange curates the room first, so the leader beside you is weighing the same scale of decision as you are: a brand budget to redeploy, a team to hold together in a volatile talent market, a pricing and distribution call that moves the P&L. This is for the leader who wants a room where everyone on the floor carries that kind of responsibility.

One Community, Many Cities

Each Exchange stands on its own, and they share a definition. Same seniority bar, same size of room, same commitment to a candid, peer-level conversation. Membership carries across the series, including 25% off your ticket to any Leadership Exchange.

How Business Gets Done In The Room

When 150 senior leaders are in one room, and everyone belongs there, trust forms faster. A director shortlisting a technology vendor, weighing a co-marketing partner or filling a senior hire meets the person on the other side of that decision as a peer first and a counterparty second. Business gets done because the room is built for the people who make those calls.

For the women running travel's biggest functions who want a room where every seat is filled by a peer, city after city, the Exchanges are built for exactly that.
