The AI conversation often excludes the most important stakeholders: those coming next. Drawing on findings from the InnovateHer AI Report, this session explores how leaders today can help create opportunity, safety and fairness for future generations.

Women + AI began in 2023 to create space for women from business backgrounds to learn, connect and lead in the AI age.
Following events in Sydney and London, this is the first Manchester gathering and a chance to shape what comes next.

Bring on a year of clarity, confidence and connection. 🔥
