The 2018 WITI Conference was just the breath of fresh air I needed to rejuvenate and reset my personal and professional intentions. The team building exercises, keynote speakers and educational sessions at the event were curated to inform with laser focus, yet delivered in a relaxed and informal setting. I was able to reconnect and strengthen current relationships while fostering many new connections. This non-traditional approach of blending the personal and professional will create more meaningful and long-lasting relationship building in the spirit of mentorship and philanthropy, specific to supporting CORE and WITI.

Great experience to spend time with wonderful women! Getting to make stronger bonds with friends and meet new friends in the industry is such a blessing. Every day was well planned and our time was well spent. So happy I was able to be a part of the very first conference and hope to be back year after year.

WITI 2018 was a great event and I left feeling more powerful as a female leader in the industry. What I learned from the open conversations and important issues that were discussed has already changed my behavior in a positive way within 3 days of being home.

The WITI conference is more than a networking opportunity and place to learn and be inspired- it is an inclusive community of strong business leaders supporting one another personally and professionally throughout the year. WITI is an amazing network, and the experience is like no other. From education, career growth, and a community that is for life.

WITI offers a wonderful opportunity to connect with female suppliers and operators alike while enjoying a great experience in wine country. There are endless opportunities to taste and enjoy a variety of spirits, wines, and beers. I was able to form and strengthen bonds with other females in the beverage industry in an organic way. There are sessions that also allow you to relax, feed your body and soul, and grow your industry knowledge. We are all stronger, louder, and more successful together. I will definitely be back next year.

WITI has created an unbelievable environment for women working within the industry by enabling powerful and authentic connections through mentorship and support. This is done not only by the incredible selection of learning opportunities but by also creating a space where women feel inspired to uplift each other rather than out-compete one another. It is so refreshing, and I wish to be a part of it always.

What is the WITI conference? It’s a place where the sales walls come down, questions and curiosity are encouraged and applauded, True relationship building is at the heart, allowing lifelong friendships to be born beyond the professional partnerships.
