Women in Trial Travel Summit -

Jennifer Fiore

The WITTS annual conference is such a great opportunity to learn the latest legal strategies and tips in a congenial and inclusive environment. Being inspired at the 2024 conference led me to try a small trip, which was well-organized and full of amazing cultural experiences alongside practical continuing legal education as well as community and network-building opportunities.

I attended the inaugural April conference, and have participated on two of the small group trips: to Greece and Morocco. Each trip was very well curated, with thoughtful choices of accommodations, activities and group dining. I had a great time on both trips, and enjoyed getting to know other female attorneys better, and meeting new ones who are now friends. I am looking forward to attending the 2025 conference and hopefully future group trips. Word to the wise: small group trips are not for everyone, you have to be flexible and be a thoughtful and respectful travel companion. If you are a high maintenance traveler, and prefer to do your own thing than go with the flow, then skip the small trips and just attend the big annual conference! Regardless of which you join, the women are amazing, and there's something really special about being in a community were 99% of the women truly lift up and support their fellow sisters in the law.

I cannot say enough good things about Lauren & the Women in Trial Travel Summit (WITTS)! I attended the large conference in Punta Mita, MX in 2024 & I attended the small group trips to Peru in 2023 & Morocco in 2024. Both small group trips were impeccably curated with amazing food & bucket list experiences, & an added bonus was making so many wonderful friends. I am from the East Coast & the majority of attendees were from California, but I was welcomed immediately & felt right at home from the beginning among other female legal professionals who share the same love of travel that I have! I am really looking forward to attending more small group trips in the future!

I have had the pleasure of traveling with WITTS on several small group trips.  I can always count on Lauren to organize the perfect itinerary and take care of every detail so that I can just relax and be on vacation.  We always have beautiful accommodations, from some of the best hotels in Hong Kong, Bali, and Casablanca, to our private villa in Tuscany, and our private beach in Grand Cayman.  We always have amazing food and unforgettable experiences--truffle hunting in Italy, visiting an elephant sanctuary in Bali, hiking Huayna Picchu in Peru, getting custom suits made in Hong Kong, attending the Cayman Cookout, and riding hot air balloons in Marrakech.  I would definitely recommend these trips to any women in the legal industry that would enjoy travelling with a group of inspiring and supportive women.

This is the best conference I have ever attended. It's not even like a conference, it's a great opportunity to network, learn and have some fun. Lauren does an amazing job of putting this on and finding generous sponsors!

I have been on all of the small group trips and I can’t say enough about them! They are so beautifully curated and well thought out. I’ve had the most wonderful experiences around the world.

Each WITTS trip I have attended has been well-run, informative, entertaining and insightful. Lauren runs each conference like a total pro and adds loads of fun on top of a wealth of information. I feel safe when traveling with the WITTS group and when I attend the annual conference. I am looking forward to many more years of returning to the annual conference and venturing to new places on Small Group Trips!

I attended the small group trip to Bali and Lauren left no stone unturned in ensuring that every moment was filled with cultural immersion, beauty, and genuine connections. From the moment we arrived in Bali, it was clear that every activity had been carefully curated to allow us to deeply experience the culture and natural beauty of this remarkable country. To name a favorite adventure on this trip would be too difficult.

The dinners Lauren organized were not just ordinary dinners; a few special evenings were top-notch culinary experiences that allowed us to savor the flavors of Bali while bonding with fellow travelers. It created an intimate setting that truly enriched our journey.

Being the newest member with a group who previously journeyed together initially felt intimidating, however, in just one week I formed genuine friendships with women whom I respect professionally and adore personally. It’s not always easy to find authentic connections but you absolutely find them through this special small group summit. I also appreciated the integrated education and having my brain stimulated where the trip was not only about leisure but personal and professional growth.

I wholeheartedly recommend anyone interested in sponsoring or attending, even if you don’t know anyone, to do so without hesitation. It's an experience that goes beyond the ordinary and one that you won't regret. Thank you, Lauren and to KW Reporting - Kamryn and Whitney for creating an unforgettable experience and I can’t wait to attend another one. Xo
