About this Event

AI for Women: Practical & Empowered, Premier ASPIRE RTP event

Empowering women to use AI confidently, ethically, and strategically β€” as a tool for equality, visibility, and growth.


About the Event

AI is not just about automation. It is about amplification. Across industries, women are 20% less likely than men to adopt AI tools even when they have equal access. The barriers are not technical. They are social: lower confidence, fear of bias, and lack of safe spaces to learn.

AI for Women: Practical & Empowered reframes AI as a confidence and career equalizer. This interactive event brings together women leaders, innovators, and learners to explore how AI can help you work smarter, advocate for yourself, and lead cultural change while staying grounded in ethics and empowerment.

No technical background is required. Just curiosity and an open mind.
