Women’s Travel Fest 2023 Speaker Line-up and Workshops & More

The Women’s Travel Fest is back in NYC! Women’s Travel Fest 2023 will take place from March 3-5 at its original venue, the Angel Orensanz Foundation.

Speakers include Fodor’s Travel editor Nikki Vargas, Solight founder Alice Chun, travel reporter, Victoria Walker, Deidre Mathis of Wanderstay Houston and so many more. Of course hosted by founder Kelly Lewis.

The festival is a go-to for female travelers especially those who travel solo. But it’s very much a community of women who empower each other’s brands, ambitions and passions.

The Travel Addict attended the festival in 2019, the last time it was in NYC. It was a wonderful event where women had open conversations by sharing their personal story as female travelers and empowering others to share their own stories of travel.

Panel discussions and individual speakers addressed topics relevant to almost any female traveler and provided Q&A opportunities at the end of each presentation for audience participation. Networking opportunities also happened all throughout the weekend for fellow traveler to meet and make connections.

Workshops in 2023 will include traveling on a shoestring budget, traveling safely while solo, booking with points and miles, monetizing travel and much more. Single-day tickets start at $249 and there are add-ons and VIP passes available as well.
