The Women in Travel Summit '17 will be held at the Hilton Milwaukee City Center Hotel from April 21 to 23 in Downtown Milwaukee. WITS is the creation of Wanderful, an international community and online resource for women who travel.
It's a big event for Milwaukee and women travel influencers, creators and brands. Its goal is to provide women travelers with the tools, connections and resources they need to become better travel bloggers and entrepreneurs while growing its global sisterhood of dedicated women who travel.
