What are senior leaders really thinking about the pressures, decisions and opportunities shaping travel right now?
At the Women Leading Travel NYC Leadership Exchange on September 22, an exceptional group of executives will come together for a candid discussion that moves beyond the polished talking points.
Amber Jackson, Executive Coach & CEO of Hype & Harvest, will lead the discussion with Michelle Fridman Hirsch, Secretary of Tourism for the State of Jalisco; Dawn Gallagher, President of Hospitality at Crescent Hotels & Resorts; and Brigit Zimmerman, CEO of Priceline, for an unfiltered look at the decisions, challenges and opportunities that come with leading at the highest levels of the travel industry. Attendees will also have the opportunity to put their own questions directly to the panel, providing a level of access rarely found in a traditional conference setting.
Beyond the C-suite conversation, the Leadership Exchange will feature a thoughtfully curated program of inspirational keynotes, exclusive insights from Skift Research and executive-level networking, creating an intimate environment for meaningful conversation and connection.
If you’ve been thinking about joining us in New York, now is the time to register. Women Leading Travel members receive discounted admission, so don’t miss the opportunity to be in the room with some of the industry’s most influential women.
