A Practical Conversation About What Comes Next

A morning for women in tech and the Makers community.

AI is rapidly altering workflows, career trajectories, and team dynamics across every industry. But behind the technical shifts lies a critical question: how do we ensure the human element remains at the center of innovation?

To explore this, Makers is hosting a dedicated morning session as part of Women in Tech Week 2026, designed specifically for women, non-binary professionals, and Makers alumni.
