‘The Women in Hotels conference is a fantastic opportunity for the women of the industry to get together, learn, be inspired and take key learnings back to the workplace. The conference speakers are always an impressive list of industry professionals and the topics discussed cover the key important areas that we experience through our professional life and crossing over into personal development,” stated Karen Milesi of Murray Bridge Hotel.
“I thoroughly enjoy the time I spend alongside like-minded women from the industry and have built many strong networks that have lasted over decades. I leave the conference feeling invigorated and clear of mind to step back into the business with a positive and determined attitude.”
