AI After 5 Virtual Conference: Women Building with AI
When the Grace Hopper Celebration was cancelled, we knew the appetite for that kind of connection hadn’t gone anywhere. So AI After 5 is bringing women together for Women Building with AI, a free virtual conference over two weeks in November, with talks, hands-on workshops and time to connect.
When: Wednesday, November 4 – Friday, November 6, 2026. All times EST. Drop into a single session or stay for the afternoon.
You don’t need to be an AI expert to belong here.
