USA, Los Angeles, California. July 02, 2025

The 2025 Women in Travel & Hospitality Conference, hosted by the Travel Industry Executive Women's Network (TIEWN) and powered by BLLA, is back for its most powerful gathering yet on Wednesday, July 17th in the beautiful Westlake Village suburb of Los Angeles. This year's event brings together the most dynamic women from around the world working in travel, tourism, hospitality, investment, wellness, and lifestyle - and will mark the official launch of the brand-new TIEWN website, a central hub for this growing movement which is one of the first formal global networks in our industry, founded in 2008.

Held at one of LA's most stunning luxury boutique hotels - The Westlake Village Inn, reminiscent of an Italian villa - the conference offers a carefully curated experience of elevated conversations, personal transformation, and real community.

With over 13,000 global women now part of the TIEWN network, the organization has become the go-to platform for executive women across industries to connect, collaborate, and lead. The new TIEWN.com reflects this bold evolution - providing a beautifully designed space for inspiration, member access, thought leadership, and strategic initiatives focused on elevating the voice of women in hospitality and travel.

"This isn't just a conference - it's a movement," said Frances Kiradjian, Founder & CEO of BLLA and TIEWN. "The launch of our new website and expanded network reflects the power of collective female leadership. We're not just talking about change - we're building it, together. It is so exciting to be part of the ever-growing communities of women in travel, tourism, and hospitality around the world, and we are open and excited to collaborate with them all."

Kris Potter, Founder of The Potter Company and TIEWN Board Liaison, who led the design and development of the new TIEWN website, added: "This launch is a true milestone for TIEWN. We approached the design with deep respect for the mission and an understanding of the emotional connection women in our network have with this organization. The new site is not just a platform - it's a reflection of who we are and where we're headed. I'm incredibly proud to help bring this vision to life."

This year's conference will feature bold keynote speakers, fireside chats, and thought-provoking panels alongside wellness activations that nourish both the mind and body, all within a setting designed to spark meaningful connections and elevate the guest experience. The conference is grateful to our Headline Sponsors, including Nestle Premium Waters, Segafredo Coffee, Greenberg Traurig, The Potter Co, Miles Partnership, Esra Calvert, and Choice Hotels.
