Women in Travel & Hospitality Conference returns to L.A. July 17

The 2025 Women in Travel & Hospitality Conference, hosted by the Travel Industry Executive Women’s Network (TIEWN) and powered by BLLA, returns to The Westlake Village Inn & Spa in Westlake Village, CA, on July 17.

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.

“This isn’t just a conference—it’s a movement,” said Frances Kiradjian, founder/CEO, 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, 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.”
