Less Artificial, More Iconic: Competing & Leading in an AI Driven World

AI is changing who gets hired, funded, promoted, trusted, heard — and who gets to build what comes next.

We have no intention of sitting that out.

Less Artificial, More Iconic: Competing & Leading in an AI Driven World is a high-impact AI summit from Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship designed for ambitious women who want to do more than keep up with AI.

We’re here to lead with it, build with it, govern it, find the opportunities inside it — and stay unmistakably human while everyone else starts sounding the same.

This is not another “future of AI” conference.

And it is definitely not six hours of people talking at you about prompts.

Expect a highly practical, fast-moving day built around the decisions leaders are making right now: how to use AI responsibly, how to reclaim personal and organizational capacity, where AI can create meaningful business value, how to move promising ideas into the real world, and how to build authority in a market increasingly flooded with AI-generated sameness.

Throughout the day, we’ll tackle questions like:

Who gets to shape the AI economy?
What changes when women aren't just users of AI, but builders, buyers, founders, executives, investors, board members, and decision-makers?

How do you move fast without being reckless?
We’ll get practical about AI ethics, governance, privacy, security, intellectual property, human oversight, risk, and creating guardrails people can actually use.

What should AI take off your plate?
Explore AI agents, automation, and AI-powered workflows designed to create more executive capacity — then get hands-on building and experimenting with tools you can actually access.

How do you turn an AI idea into real impact?
A clever demo nobody adopts creates exactly zero value. We’ll explore the messy space between experimentation and execution: buy-in, validation, adoption, implementation, production, and getting useful AI into the hands of the people who will actually use it.

How do you stand out in a world drowning in AI slop?
When polished content becomes nearly free, distinction becomes more valuable. We’ll explore brand, voice, thought leadership, credibility, executive authority, and how to use AI without allowing it to flatten what makes you or your company worth paying attention to.

Your ticket includes more than a seat in the room.

Attendees will leave with a WTE AI Playbook built to become a working reference long after the summit — with practical frameworks, worksheets, prompts, checklists, and tools designed to help you apply what you learn.

You'll also receive exclusive access to a post-summit WTE Slack study group, where attendees can continue exchanging prompts, tools, experiments, resources, wins, failures, and ideas as the technology evolves.

And because we believe the best rooms create relationships — not just business cards — we'll close with a facilitated Find Your Co-Conspirator experience designed to help you meet people worth continuing to learn and build alongside.

Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship exists to expand access to the relationships, knowledge, opportunities, and resources women need to build economic power.

AI represents one of the biggest shifts in business and technology of our generation.

Women shouldn't simply be trained to use what gets built.

We should have a hand in deciding what gets built next.

Come ready to learn.

Come ready to build.

Come ready to question the hype.

Come ready to find your people.

And whatever you do, don't sit this one out.

This summit is built for people with decisions to make and ambitions bigger than “learn ChatGPT.”

• Founders and aspiring founders.
• CxOs, VPs, and senior executives.
• Internal innovators and transformation leaders.
• Entrepreneurs and business owners.
• Women pursuing paid board opportunities.
• Investors, advisors, operators, and ecosystem leaders.
• And ambitious professionals determined to have a meaningful role in what comes next.

You do not need to be technical.

You do need to be curious, willing to experiment, and ready to think bigger about where you fit in the AI economy.

We are actively welcoming a limited number of organizations and subject-matter experts who want to help equip women to lead in the AI economy.

Select partnership opportunities may include brand visibility, attendee engagement, thought leadership participation, sponsored experiences, and integration into the summit and post-event learning ecosystem.

If your organization wants to be in the room where this conversation is happening, we'd love to hear from you.

All ticket sales are final and non-refundable.

Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship is a dues-free, member-led organization helping women across all industries start, scale, and lead in today’s economy. We provide educational programming, near-peer mentorship, and a thriving community of support for women building bold careers and businesses — on their own terms.
