Session Descriptions

Pivot & Prosper
Change is inevitable, but knowing when to embrace it and how to move forward with confidence is what sets great leaders apart. Pivot & Prosper is an empowering session lead by Kasey Anton of Spark Business Consulting, designed for women in hospitality who are navigating transitions, questioning their next step, or feeling ready for something more. In an industry defined by resilience and reinvention, this session will explore how to recognize the signals that it’s time for a shift whether in your role, your organization, or your personal path.

You’re Team Called….They Want Better Leadership
Great leadership isn’t about titles, it’s about how your team experiences you every day. In an industry as fast-paced and people-driven as hospitality, leadership can make or break culture, performance, and retention. Diane Dukette leads this engaging and honest session and challenges participants to take a closer look at their leadership style through the lens of their team. What’s working? What’s not? And what are your people really asking for?

Flop to Flourish
In Flop to Flourish, entrepreneur and innovator Samara Oster shares her journey of bringing Meli, the first quinoa beer in the U.S., to life. From unexpected setbacks to breakthrough moments, Samara offers an honest and inspiring look at what it takes to navigate challenges, take risks, and keep moving forward in a competitive industry.
