Washington Independent Innkeepers Network – The Heart behind the Experience
Join us on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at the historic Bush House Inn in Index, Washington, for the Washington Independent Innkeepers Network (WIIN) 2026 Annual Conference. This year’s theme, “The Heart Behind the Experience,” will inspire you to see your inn through a new lens by exploring three pillars that create unforgettable guest experiences: Story, Place, and Community.

Learn practical ways to use digital marketing and social media to extend your story before, during, and after every guest’s stay. You’ll leave with fresh ideas, actionable strategies, and renewed inspiration to create memorable experiences that encourage guests to return—and enthusiastically share your inn with others.

History of WIIN
The Washington Independent Inns Network, (WIIN) formerly the Washington Bed and Breakfast Guild (WBBG) was formed by 50 charter members in 1986. This group’s concept for the Guild was to provide an information network throughout the state for member B&B’s as well as developing a strong voice for the industry with state regulatory and tourism agencies. In November 2018 the Guild changed its name to the Washington Independent Inns Network (WIIN) and opened its membership to include properties not serving breakfast.
