RISE 2025: Reshaping Hospitality by Empowering Women is all set to elevate and empower the women of the hospitality sector next month. 

Set to be held in Phuket, RISE 2025 is a full-day learning experience focused on career growth, skill-building, and inclusive leadership. 

The event is co-organised by C9 Hotelworks, Mrs B Group, and Delivering Asia.

Created especially for professionals across the hospitality, tourism, restaurant, and service sectors, RISE 2025 welcomes everyone from students and young professionals to senior executives and business owners.

Whether you’re redefining your professional path or just beginning, this event is designed to harness collective energy and practical insight to help women move forward together.”

Inspirational guidance on both personal and professional fronts

The day commences with a guided meditation session titled Manifest the Career You Want by Connecting with Your Inner Voice led by Viona Zhang, deputy managing director of C9 Hotelworks, to put attendees in the perfect frame of mind to absorb the event’s keynote program, which features an inspiring line up of speakers.

Zhang said: “As the hospitality industry continues to evolve, it’s essential we create spaces that equip women with the skills and visibility to lead. RISE isn’t just about inspiration: it’s about impact and action.”
