​According to CNBC's Women at Work 2026 survey, AI faces a significant gender gap with how women and men are upskilling in AI. Let's change that.

​This night is about:

1. ​Meeting the women already in motion with using AI and learning from how they got there.

2. ​Learning how to expand your own AI building journey to the next level.

​You can expect a welcoming, creative, fun space to get curious and learn from others on how their using AI to open new doors.

​Who you'll hear from:

• ​Nadeen Siddiqui, AI Educator and Founder of AI Build Club DC

• ​Meheret Egzerab, AI Product Builder and Founder of Studio Rehoboth

• ​Andria Thomas, Founder/Builder at Stealth (Previous Product Leader at FinLocker and Capital One)

• ​Lauren Roche, founder of The Naked Truth with Lauren LLC, a community-driven wellness platform helping ambitious 20-something women combat loneliness.

​The panelists will share their experience on:

• ​The Crossing: What was the moment you started building your own AI system, workflow, or product? What pushed you across?

• ​AI Tools & Education Stack: What tools or frameworks are you using? Walk us through one that's made a real difference. What's helped you upskill?

• ​Where to Start: If someone in the room wants to build but is stuck on what, what's the one project you'd tell her to try this weekend?

​Who this event is for:

• ​This event is women-only.

• ​Women who are beginners or light experimenters. You've used Claude or ChatGPT as a chatbot, maybe set up a basic automation, but haven't yet used AI as a real collaboration partner.

• ​Women currently building with AI who want to hear from other builders and share their knowledge.

​What you'll leave with:

• ​A clearer picture of what's actually possible to build with AI right now
