Events

We build in public, learn out loud and celebrate every win.

Our events are practical, human and welcoming: no gatekeeping, no performance, and no assumption that you already know the answer.

Speaker programme

Her Future in AI stages belong to women first.

We are building a speaker community that reflects the world we want AI to be: diverse women from different backgrounds, industries, neurodivergences, technical levels and lived experiences.

We especially want to hear from women who came to AI from non-technical backgrounds, neurodivergent and disabled women using AI, women of colour in AI, women building AI businesses, and women working in ethics, policy, creativity, education and social good.
