I often wonder what I should and shouldn’t be sharing on social media, and what the value of it all is. But today sharing the joy of yesterday’s event seems like a no brainer. So this is a huge ‘thank you post’ to everyone involved in yesterday’s #WITCONF event. Together with my colleagues at Women in Tourism, we welcomed over 100 delegates to our first ever Conference at the TIC @unistrathclyde for an inspirational day of #tourism workshops, networking & panel speakers. The exciting agenda was thanks to experts across the tourism industry and three amazing #YOYP contributors all giving up their time and wisdom. Thanks to Dale @waedinburgh and Valerie at Criton Apps, Cathy from Entrepreneurial Scotland, and Beth @edinburghfestivals and Chloe @mudurbanflowers and Hannah @edinburghnapier, for their amazing workshops, and to Sheila @visitarran, Angela @apexhotels, Marc from STA, and David @hitscotland for making my first panel hosting duties such an enjoyable experience, and for giving our delegates so many interesting take-aways. And to my WIT board members, THANK YOU for keeping me sane in the run up to the event, the power of work you all put in on the day, and for my award, I am overwhelmed and still can’t believe I unknowingly changed from heels to trainers for the presentation of it 🤦🏼♀️ #chickswithkicks. For any females working in the tourism industry in Scotland, I can’t recommend joining this inspirational network of women enough. You’ll get career mentoring, sector inspiration, great events and so much more. Head to womenintourism.com for loads more info and details on how to join the network. I think I’ll go sleep now for a few days 😂✌🏼bye! #womenintourism #eventsprof #scotland
