Each year at Summit, Women in Data and AI have a half day for in-person discussions on empowering Women in Data and AI Breakfast, and networking with like-minded professionals and trailblazers. For this virtual discussion, hear from Kate Ostbye (Pfizer), Lisa Cohen (Anthropic), Pallavi Koppol and Holly Smith (Databricks) about navigating challenges, celebrating successes, and inspire one another as we champion diversity and innovation in data together. And how to get involved year-round.

How do top leaders stay ahead in a field moving at lightning speed? Join us for a dynamic panel featuring senior women leaders in data and AI as they share reflections on their inspiring career journeys and how they’re navigating the next wave of technological transformation. These leaders are charting the course for how AI and other emerging technologies are reshaping entire industries. The conversation will offer both practical insights and personal reflections—followed by a networking reception designed to connect and further build this global community. Sponsored by EY.
