The lineup
The women building what comes next
The Q4 Women in Tech Summit brings together founders, engineers, executives, creators, strategists, educators and community builders for six days of practical conversation about AI, technology, leadership, visibility, healthcare, entrepreneurship and building without waiting for permission.
This is not a vague inspiration event. Every session is built around useful ideas, lived experience and honest conversation — what these women actually did, what it cost them, what worked and what they would do differently. You should leave with strategies you can apply to the work in front of you, not a feeling that fades by Monday.

- Women working in technology
- Founders and entrepreneurs
- Non-technical women building with AI and no-code tools
- Executives and emerging leaders
- Creators, consultants and educators

Because six days of brilliant women is a lot to fit into your calendar
Work runs long. Someone needs picking up. A session you wanted lands at 6am your time. None of that means you should miss the conversation — it just means live isn’t always realistic.
The VIP All-Access Pass is for attendees who’d rather watch without rushing: press play when you have the attention to give it, take notes properly, and come back to a session six months from now when the advice suddenly applies to your situation. That’s the whole offer — flexibility and permanent access, for $97.
