Welcome to the GatherVerse Women’s AI Summit, a GatherVerse experience dedicated to women building the future of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies.

This is a space to share experiences, explore opportunities, and look into the future of humanity at the intersection of AI.

For women in technology, healthcare, education, policy, finance, and beyond.

It's a summit for women to lead, build, and define AI.

About the Summit

Women have always been at the centre of progress. They have led movements, built institutions, raised families, run companies, and carried communities through every kind of change the world has thrown at them. This moment is no different.

Women are already in the room. They are engineers, researchers, founders, policymakers, educators, economists, lawyers, clinicians, and operators carrying real responsibility across every industry in the world today. They are using AI, being evaluated by AI, and having their careers redirected by AI. Yet the systems being built, funded, and deployed at scale are largely being built without them at the table.

The Women’s AI Summit 2026 is a gathering for women from every profession. It’s about conversations that matter, sharing concerns, practical solutions, and learning from experiences across industries.

Here, women take space to be heard, to influence, to create, and to make tangible impact.

Why Women’s AI Summit?

• AI is becoming the everyday infrastructure of modern life and it is moving fast. The people most affected by that shift are still among the least represented in directing it.

• When women live with the consequences of the technology that they are not involved in the development of, the gap becomes apparent in the systems themselves.

• The concern women bring to innovation brings clarity and makes systems more honest, more accountable, and more fit for the complexity of real human life.

• A future where AI works for everyone requires everyone at the table where AI is made.

Our Focus

We focus on the issues and opportunities women face today, in work and life at the intersection of AI:

• Bias & Inclusive Systems
  Understanding and mitigating gender bias in AI, with strategies for fairer, more inclusive technology and workplaces.
  
  

• Representation & Leadership
  Highlighting the gaps in leadership and research and elevating women in AI policy and governance.
  
  

• Workforce & Skills Development
  Navigating AI-driven changes in careers, reskilling, mentorship, and pathways into leadership roles.
  
  

• Accessibility
  Removing barriers to AI participation for women in under-represented regions and industries.

• Ethics, Trust & Human-Centered AI
  Exploring responsible AI practices, privacy, and design that centers people and communities.

  Examining how AI is trained on and applied to women's health data, reproductive technology, diagnostics, and the risks of building systems that do not reflect the full diversity of women's bodies and experiences.

• Media, Narrative and Representation
  Exploring how AI is telling the stories told about women; through generated content, algorithmic amplification, and media platforms; and who holds the power to influence those narratives at scale.
