Overview
New Orleans is a city that sparks ideas. It’s a place where history, culture, and innovation intersect—where the unexpected ignites creativity, and where leadership takes on new meaning. Our TWA Retreat is not your typical conference. There will be no one-way presentations, no mediocre food, no awkward networking, or sitting in air-conditioned meeting rooms while life happens outside.
Welcome to TWA Leadership Immersion.
The TWA Leadership Immersion is a one-of-a-kind four-day experience for visionary female leaders looking to break free from the daily grind, connect on a deeper level, sharpen strategic thinking, and supercharge your expertise, network, and life while forging lasting relationships with influential peers across industries.
Why New Orleans? Why This Experience?
Innovation doesn’t happen in silos. It’s sparked through diverse perspectives, immersive experiences, and environments that challenge the status quo. This year we are thrilled to host you in New Orleans, a city that shares what we hold dear—a welcoming tight-knit community with a rich history, boundless imagination, fabulous food, a vibrant music and art scene, a culture of joyful celebration, and constant serendipity (where people are easy to talk to and conversations often lead to new discoveries).
Over four days, you’ll engage in thought-provoking discussions and interactions with industry leaders and changemakers who embody innovation and adaptability. You’ll explore how creativity fuels problem-solving, how different industries navigate disruption, and how stepping into unfamiliar spaces can unlock new ways of thinking.
This experience is about strategic leadership, not leisure—though the best insights often emerge when we allow ourselves to engage fully, think expansively, and connect deeply.
Tangible Takeaways:
Cross-Industry Insights – Engage with leading minds in business, culture, and the arts to uncover fresh strategies for leadership and innovation.
Expanded Network of Senior Leaders – Build meaningful relationships with accomplished peers who challenge and inspire you.
New Strategic Frameworks – Learn how industries outside your own approach resilience, change, and growth—and apply those lessons to your leadership.
Creative Problem-Solving Techniques – Develop a more innovative mindset by experiencing firsthand how inspiration comes from unexpected places.
Enhanced Leadership Agility – Step outside your routine and into a space designed to cultivate adaptability, vision, and breakthrough thinking.
Why Now?
In times of rapid change, the most successful leaders are those who can think differently, adapt quickly, and draw inspiration from diverse sources. This experience is designed to help you do just that.
Join us in New Orleans for a leadership immersion that will challenge, inspire, and transform the way you think about your work, your network, and your impact.
It’s intimate, electric, transformational—and nothing like anything else out there.
Let us introduce you to the right people at the right time in the right place.
Our Home Base: Hotel Saint Vincent
Hotel Saint Vincent is no ordinary hotel—it’s a world of its own.
Tucked away in the Lower Garden District, this 19th-century building has been reimagined into a lush, layered hideaway with just the right amount of decadence and irreverence.
✨ Velvet-draped lounges provide a comfortable ‘seat at the table’
✨ A dreamy, palm-lined pool for a refreshing swim before or after programming
✨ Secluded courtyards where the best conversations happen
✨ Dramatic, gorgeous interiors that make every moment feel cinematic
It’s a place that invites you to let all the learning sink in and the connections deepen—the perfect backdrop for everything we’ll create together.
THE WHAT
Join us for four days of deep, soul-stirring connection, where New Orleans itself is part of the curriculum.
At TWA, we believe the most meaningful relationships aren’t built sitting in a dark room listening to panels. They happen through shared, interactive experiences. They happen when we get to know each other as humans first, leaders second—when we laugh, when we move, when we eat, when we explore, when we toast to something bigger than ourselves.
That’s what this retreat will deliver: an immersive, high-vibe, intentionally-designed four-day experience that will stay with you long after you return home.
Expect moments of awe, delight, and surprise. Private meals in places you’d never find on your own. Encounters with brilliant minds, artists, and creators who embody the magic of NOLA. Experiences that unlock new perspectives, new ideas, new doors—and new Allies who will open them with you.
