AI for Women in Business by Dr. Alyona Medelyan, CEO of Thematic
An in-person session for women business owners on how to use AI in day-to-day work.
Using AI is a bit like speaking a foreign language. Some people pick it up naturally, and others feel an invisible barrier they are hesitant to cross. In reality, this barrier is very thin!
I will prove it to you in this practical, hands-on session. You don’t need a technical background. Just bring your laptop! Any woman in business is welcome.
What we’ll cover
How AI tools work, in plain language, and how to use AI for everyday work.

I’ve taught AI at the University of Waikato, run hands-on lectures and webinars for professional communities, and I know what it’s like to be one of the few women in a technical room. Other women business owners inspire me, and I’m passionate about helping women succeed in their professional lives.
