About this Event

Women Building the Future

is a small salon-style gathering for women in tech, AI, startups, and creative projects to meet each other, share what we’re building, and have real conversations about the future we want to create differently.


There are plenty of tech events out there — but not enough rooms where women are truly centered as builders, founders, engineers, designers, creators, and people shaping the future. So we created this room for honest, energizing connection — for women who are building things, thinking deeply, experimenting, creating, and imagining new systems.


Expect light networking, a few short founder/project spotlights, and thoughtful conversations with women working across tech, AI, startups, product, design, creative technology, and beyond.


Whether you’re building a company, exploring an idea, working in tech, experimenting with AI, creating something future-facing, or simply looking for a more intentional women-led tech space — you’re welcome here.



Want to Demo or Share Your Project?

We’ll have a few short founder / builder spotlights during the event.

If you’re a woman or nonbinary builder working on something in tech, AI, startups, creative technology, product, design, or anything future-facing — and you’d like to briefly demo or share your project, please email me: [email protected]

This can be an early idea, a prototype, a startup, an AI experiment, a creative tech project, or something still in progress. It does not need to be polished or perfect.
