Women in the Industry Workshop: 
Connecting to Your Confidence

The Pool & Spa Show hosted the 8th Annual Women in the Industry Workshop this past January! The full-day workshop included networking, interactive presentations, and a lot of fun!  This year’s event was our most successful yet—nearly 90 attendees, an inspiring keynote from Heather Whelpley, and our first-ever WITI Welcome Reception.

For nearly a decade, this workshop has fostered a strong community within the pool and spa industry, empowering women at all levels to grow, connect, and thrive. This year, participants shared powerful insights, supported one another, and left feeling more inspired than ever. Here’s what a few attendees had to say:

“The session was incredibly interactive and engaging! I walked away with fresh perspectives and practical takeaways.”

“So glad I signed up for WITI! Informative, helpful, and truly inspiring.”

“I loved connecting with like-minded women facing similar challenges—and learning from those who have overcome them.”
