AI Female Founders Panel - Scale Smarter, Not Harder

This special event is designed to change that.
Hosted at Mintz in Torrey Hills, this intimate evening brings together four female founders and AI practitioners who are actively using artificial intelligence inside their businesses and helping clients do the same. This is not a theoretical conversation about the future of AI. It is a practical, real-world discussion about how entrepreneurs can use AI right now to save time, streamline operations, increase output, improve decision-making, and scale smarter.

This special event is designed to change that.

Our panelists will share real client case studies and behind-the-scenes examples of how AI is being used to support business growth, from improving workflows and automating repetitive tasks to enhancing marketing, customer experience, content creation, operations, and strategic planning.

No jargon. No hype. No overwhelm.

Just clear, practical strategies from women who are already putting AI to work.

In addition to the panel conversation, attendees will participate in a special breakout session with one of the panelists, designed to help you think through how AI could be applied inside your own business. You’ll leave with new ideas, fresh perspective, and a stronger understanding of how to begin using AI more intentionally.

We’ll also explore an important bigger-picture question: How can we empower more women to leverage AI as a tool for access, innovation, and opportunity? As AI continues to reshape the way we work, build, and grow, women all over the world now (hopefully) have EQUAL access to the tools to compete, lead, and thrive.

This will be a high-value, relationship-rich evening for female founders, small business owners, consultants, service providers, and leaders who are ready to move beyond curiosity and begin using AI with more confidence and purpose.

Enjoy light bites from Café California Poppy, a women-owned business, along with beverages, including wine, as you connect with other growth-minded women entrepreneurs in a beautiful professional setting.

Join us for an inspiring and practical evening focused on helping female founders use AI to scale smarter, work more strategically, and create greater impact.
