On October 27, Women Leading Travel launches our signature executive roundtable series in the heart of Manhattan. We’re bringing together top industry leaders for a day of meaningful dialogue, connection and inspiration at the Thompson Hotel.

As the most visited city in the U.S., New York is a natural hub for this invitation-only gathering of influential travel and hospitality executives. The day begins with a keynote by Jasmine Bellamy, followed by a dynamic panel discussion moderated by Tiffany Townsend, EVP of Global Communications at NYC Tourism + Conventions. With her expertise in global branding, cultural relevance and tourism strategy, Tiffany is the ideal guide for this conversation.

Joining her on stage are four trailblazing women who are redefining leadership across sectors of the travel economy:

Together, the panel will explore the theme of resilient leadership in a rapidly evolving landscape, from driving brand transformation and sustainable development to fostering inclusive cultures and unlocking new growth opportunities.

As the industry continues to rebuild, reimagine and adapt, these women are not just leading, they’re setting new standards for what leadership looks like in 2025 and beyond.

Attendees can expect an off-the-record, candid conversation designed to spark insight, share strategies and strengthen a community of executive women working at the top of their fields.

Whether you’re leading a global team, launching new ventures or shaping guest experiences across continents, this event is a space to recharge, reconnect and refocus.

We can’t wait to welcome you to New York.
