Our customers are some of the most well-known, iconic and inspiring brands in the country and from many different industries from high end fashion to open cut mining and everything in between.

“It is great to see that our partnership will hopefully both inform and inspire our customers but it’s great to know that many women will now have the opportunity to attend these events across the country. We are grateful to have our amazing customers trust us with managing their business travel programs and to be able to offer them an opportunity to be part of these empowering experiences.”
