  • About The W+AI Summit 2.0

    Saturday, 7 February 2026
    Vanderbilt Law School, Nashville, TN

    The Women + AI Summit (The W+AI) is a groundbreaking gathering where women (and our allies) from across industries and disciplines come together to shape the future of Artificial Intelligence. Whether you're a seasoned AI professional, just beginning to explore AI's potential, or leading AI adoption in your field, this summit is your opportunity to connect with pioneering women who are determined to ensure AI serves and reflects all of humanity.

    This isn't just another tech conference. The W+AI is a dynamic, interactive experience built on three pillars:

    • ACTION: We seek to transform insights into impact through collaborative problem-solving
    • COMMUNITY: We seek to build lasting connections with diverse women (and our allies) leading AI across every domain
    • EMPOWERMENT: We seek to gain the tools, knowledge, and network to advance our AI goals

    Through curated talks, interactive workshops, and meaningful networking, you'll work alongside women who are redefining AI's possibilities in law, business, healthcare, education, creative industries, and beyond. Share your AI story, tackle common challenges, and help create solutions that will ripple across industries.

    Together, we'll build a future where women's voices drive AI's evolution. The Women+AI Summit 2.0 happens on 7 February 2025 at Vanderbilt Law School in Nashville, TN.

    Registration for the Women+AI Summit 2.0 is open: REGISTER HERE.

    We want to hear YOUR voice on AI—through essays, short stories, visual art, multimedia, podcasts, or songs. Choose from prompts exploring how girls should use AI in school, questions of ownership in AI-generated art, issues you see with AI for girls and women, or ways AI is helping.

    Two tracks:
    → Human Architect: Create entirely on your own
    → Radical Collaborator: Co-create with AI and show us how you did it

    Two grand prize winners get free Summit registration + a feature in our Substack, The WAI.

    💰 Cost: Free
    📍 Open to: Nashville-area high school students
