 AI Empowerment for Entrepreneurial Women

Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or an established business owner, this one day summit at MIT is the perfect opportunity for entrepreneurial women to learn how to harness responsible AI in practical, impactful ways. Our summit is uniquely designed to be interdisciplinary, covering the nexus of technology, business strategy, and the human spirit.

Join female thought leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs in an intimate, supportive space designed by women, for women—where you’ll gain clear, actionable strategies to tackle everyday business challenges and future-proof your venture. Explore themes like marketing and automation, responsible AI, work-life balance amidst technological shifts, and nurturing what is human in the AI era. Skip the tech-bro jargon and high-level AI theories geared toward big enterprises; here, we focus on real-world applications for entrepreneurs that save time, cut costs, and allow you to focus on what matters most. 

Register now to demystify AI, build meaningful connections with other female changemakers, and walk away with skills that deliver real, measurable results for both your life and work.

The AI-Powered Women Summit will be hosted at MIT, in the new bright & sunny
