WELCOME TO THE NEW WITS GLOBAL ACTIVATION
This year’s WITS Global Activation will bring travel content creators together to collectively discover a destination, share its stories, and build our creative skills through meaningful, hands-on workshops and sessions, all while expanding our global network of travel creators worldwide.
Think of it as all your favorite parts of a conference, a press trip, and a creative campaign — combined into one.

HOW IT WORKS
Local immersion + curated experiences…
We’ll explore Gdansk in partnership with our host, Visit Gdansk, to get to know its many stories and people, from food and walking tours to museum visits and historic experiences. All are part of your WITS Global Activation ticket.
…paired with hands-on workshops and sessions…
Take your experiences back to our conference area for expert-led sessions to learn how to create richer, more valuable content that enhances your voice as a thought leader, expands your storytelling, and achieves better reach with your audience. Plus, we’ll deep dive into important conversations to move our travel industry forward, and get to know some of the local challenges affecting the region and our role as creators in speaking up about them.
…and top-notch networking + support.
Join dozens of other content creators and inspired industry members to explore future collaborations and partnerships, and get inspired by the stories of local and international trailblazers who have paved the way to push our travel industry to be more thoughtful, equitable, and diverse for all.
