Conference dates are being updated
We’re currently working with the hotel to reschedule for 2026.
Right now, our registration numbers aren’t where they need to be. Nothing is finalized yet — we’re exploring options to make sure we handle our commitments responsibly while keeping every opportunity open.
In the meantime, if you’ve already booked a hotel room for the November dates, please cancel your reservation today (Friday, 10/17) to avoid falling within the hotel’s 30-day cancellation window.
You will need to call 1-800-519-9911 as it's a group rate reservation. You’ll be able to rebook once the new dates are confirmed.
We’ll share the revised schedule and booking link here as soon as details are finalized. Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we make this adjustment.

KEYNOTE speakers
Bounce to Rise
Women, AI, and the Power to Lead What’s Next
In a world shifting at the speed of technology, how do women rise—not just back, but forward? In this powerful and deeply human keynote, we explore what it means to “bounce” with courage, clarity, and conviction in the age of AI.
Blending personal story, hard data, and historic precedent, this talk invites attendees to step into a pivotal moment for women in leadership and technology. We’ll confront the gender gaps in AI adoption and leadership, reframe them as opportunities, and chart a path toward building ethical, inclusive systems with intention—not just code.
Through stories of resilience, moments of collective breakthrough, and an urgent call to shape the future rather than be shaped by it, this keynote will leave you inspired, informed, and ready to rise—not just for yourself, but for the next generation watching you lead.
This isn’t about bouncing back. It’s about bouncing higher. Together.
