eChai: Women in AI SF Edition
eChai and Zoom Developers are bringing together some of the most inspiring women leading the charge in AI — for an evening of honest conversations, bold insights, and real community.
We’re kicking things off with a powerhouse panel featuring senior leaders from Meta, NVIDIA, Zoom, and Walmart — women who are not only building at scale but shaping the very fabric of AI’s future. Expect real stories, hard-earned lessons, and the kind of clarity that only comes from being in the arena.
Then, Zoom Developers will take the stage to showcase what they’re building in the AI space — a peek behind the curtain of what’s next in intelligent collaboration.
No fluff. No posturing. Just meaningful dialogue, and time to connect with fellow builders and believers.
Whether you’re exploring leadership in tech, building AI products, or simply curious about what’s unfolding — this room is for you.
