AI NEXT by Ladies Connect (AI Summit week)
Women Leading What’s Next.
Open to everyone shaping the future of AI.
Artificial Intelligence is no longer just another technology.
It is becoming the operating system of business, investment and society.
The question is no longer whether AI will change the world.
The question is who will build it.
AI NEXT explores that question through the perspective of women leading the next generation of innovation.
As the official Ladies Connect side event during AI Summit Week, AI NEXT is where the most meaningful conversations continue after the conference ends.
No oversized conference badges. No overcrowded panels. No presentations telling you that “AI is the future.” You already know that.
Instead, expect one bold conversation, remarkable people, fresh ideas and the room where partnerships quietly begin.
Putting women at the center of the AI conversation while welcoming founders, investors and innovators from across the ecosystem, AI NEXT is designed for those building what’s next but not just talking about it.
More than a networking event, AI NEXT is built around the five forces driving the future:
Ideas · Leadership · Influence · Capital · Collaboration
…and one exceptional cocktail.
The Program
