Third VP Dame Kate Howell (London) and her Communications Committee share their collage of Dames as we prepare for our Annual Conference in Las Vegas this coming April. We reimagined the social campaign in “What Conference Means to Me” and hope you’ll have fun clicking around the map to view messages of encouragement from our sisters far and wide.

Dame Melissa Abbott (Seattle) brings us up to speed on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is affecting gastronomy and hospitality in “Augmented Appetite.” Be sure to also register for the Live Online event Why Food Still Needs Women’s Leadership in an AI Age on February 24.

Buckle up in the Delorean and go back in time with Dame Jen Greenhalgh (London) to explore how LDEI founder Grande Dame Carol Brock planted the seeds for our international chapters in “Going Global.”
