Real stories. Real connection.

“A room of women who understand the industry, who support each other rather than compete, and who make the hard days as sayable as the wins.”

I joined after meeting Debbie O’Neill, our Chair, at the One of Many One Woman Conference, someone I’d looked up to for years. I work from home, which suits me, but it is quiet. I was looking for the thing a solo desk doesn’t give you: connection, and people who understand the work.

“I chose to rejoin AWTE right now because you can feel the shift, there is a powerful new movement happening here and I absolutely wanted to be part of it.”

AWTE isn’t just a networking group anymore; it’s a thriving, forward-thinking community that genuinely champions women at every stage of their career. The energy and vision behind where AWTE is heading right now is contagious, and it feels great to be back!

“Joining AWTE felt like a natural fit for The Voyage Desk. The travel industry is built on relationships, collaboration, and strong support networks, for us AWTE represents exactly that.”

Being surrounded by ambitious, inspiring women within travel is something we’re incredibly proud to be part of, especially as a growing business focused on supporting independent travel professionals behind the scenes.
