AI Track
AI as Your Career Accelerator: Working Smarter, Leading Bigger
AI is changing the world of work, but its greatest value isn't replacing people. It's helping them do more of what humans do best.
In this practical and interactive session, we'll explore how AI can help reduce the invisible load of work, build confidence, strengthen leadership skills and create more time for meaningful, high-value activities.
Through audience polls, live demonstrations and thought-provoking discussion, you'll discover how AI can act as a personal assistant, productivity partner and career coach, helping you navigate challenges, develop new skills and unlock new opportunities.
We'll also tackle the bigger questions surrounding ethics, representation and the role women must play in shaping an AI-enabled future. Whether you're a student, job seeker, individual contributor or experienced leader, you'll leave with practical ideas, fresh perspectives and actions you can apply immediately.

Women Who Lead Track
The Advancement Playbook Pulling the Right Levers to Move Your Career Forward.
Career advancement isn’t always about working harder, earning another credential, or waiting for the next promotion. Sometimes the key is knowing which lever to pull—and when.

AI Track
Ask It Anything
One argument, told by two people who disagree with each other. AI is the first technology in this industry's history that lowers the technical barrier instead of raising it, which makes it the biggest levelling opportunity women in tech have had. But it only levels if enough of the right people are shaping it before it sets, and right now they aren't.
The session ladders from something every person in the room can use on Monday morning, up to something that would have needed a development team two years ago. It is honest about what AI cannot fix, because the room will not trust us on the rest if we oversell.

Women Who Lead Track
The Power of Personality in Tech
We all have a preferred way of working. What happens when someone else’s is completely different from yours?
Join this 45-minute interactive session to explore how understanding different behavioural styles can help you work more effectively with others.
You'll discover your own preferences, recognise the value of different strengths, and learn practical ways to adapt your behaviour to strengthen collaboration, relationships and effectiveness.
