Members of Women in Travel Retail+ are set to gather during the 2024 IAADFS Summit of the Americas at the Hilton on West Palm Beach, Florida. The meeting will take place prior to the opening cocktail on Sunday, April 14 at 5pm.
WiTR + supporters are welcome to join the meeting, which has been organised by WiTR+ Steering Committee member Lois Pasternak, and is generously sponsored by WEBB Banks and IAADFS.
Women in Travel Retail+ has seen a rapid increase in membership in the past few months – through both individual membership and through Corporate Partners who offer membership to women in their travel retail teams, giving WiTR+ members access to a global network of women in the travel retail industry. Anyone who isn’t a member can sign up at the meeting.
Attendees are encouraged to bring cash as there will be three special raffle gifts available to win. The money raised will go to the WiTR+ nominated charity for 2024: FRASI’s Bike to School project.

| A house funded by WiTR+ in partnership with the Koma Karanth Foundation |
Last year Women in Travel Retail+ raised enough money to fund the building of six houses for people living in poverty in a remote rural community in the Philippines in partnership with the Koma Karanth Foundation. The first home, sponsored by Victoria’s Secret, has just been completed and shows a massive quality in life improvement for its residents.
WiTR+ Chair Sarah Branquinho said: “A huge thank you to everybody who supported last year’s charity. It truly is encouraging to see the results of everyone’s generosity, and this is a great example of the power that we have collectively to change people’s lives for the better. I look forward to catching up with you all in West Palm Beach."
