HALF-DAY SUMMIT BRINGS TOGETHER INFLUENTIAL
VOICES IN AI, MARKETING, MEDIA, AND ENTERTAINMENT
ATTN:, the leading purpose-driven, storytelling media company
and a division of Candle Media, and The Female Quotient (The FQ),
an experience and media company advancing gender equality in the
workplace, today announced the inaugural Women in AI Summit, set to
take place on November 13, 2024 at Webster Hall in New York.
The summit, hosted in collaboration with Microsoft Advertising, HP
Inc., and Amazon Web Services (AWS), will feature an impressive
lineup of speakers, including author and advocate Chelsea Clinton,
supermodel and entrepreneur Ashley Graham, Thrive Global Founder
& CEO Arianna Huffington, leading AI experts Allie K. Miller
and Dr. Joy Buolamwini, and New York City’s first-ever Chief
Technology Officer Minerva Tantoco, with more to be announced
soon.
This groundbreaking event will bring together some of the most
influential voices in AI, marketing, media, and entertainment for a
half-day summit designed to foster an engaging and actionable
dialogue around the future of AI and its impact on women.
Despite the rapid advancement of AI, women currently represent
only 26% of the global AI workforce. This summit seeks to change
that narrative by providing a platform for meaningful conversations
aimed at closing the gender gap in AI much sooner than the broader
gender gap, which is projected to take over 130 years to
bridge.
Hosted in collaboration with Microsoft Advertising, HP Inc.,
and AWS, the inaugural Women in AI Summit takes place November 13,
from 1PM – 6PM ET at New York’s Webster Hall.
To foster the next generation, ATTN: & The FQ are jointly
launching a Women in AI Cohort. This is an innovative 6-month
program for 10 recipients is designed to equip up-and-coming
leaders across marketing, media, and entertainment with community,
skills, and insights to harness the power of AI to elevate the work
and their careers. Details on how to apply or submit a nomination
for the AI cohort are forthcoming.
“We are at the dawn of the AI revolution, and we have the unique
opportunity to ensure that women are leaders in this space,”
said Talia Bender Small, President of The Female Quotient.
“Putting women at the forefront of the conversation creates
perspectives, prevents biased algorithms, and upholds ethical
standards – it isn’t about fairness – it's a strategic imperative.
We are proud to partner with ATTN: as we bring together
transformative leaders and lead the charge in amplifying women's
voices in AI.”
“AI is transforming creative industries, with estimates showing
that AI could create over 60 million new jobs by 2025. But to truly
unlock its potential, women must play a key role in shaping the
future,” said Taryn Crouthers, President of ATTN:. “We’re
honored to join forces with The FQ on our inaugural Women in AI
Summit and Women in AI Cohort. This groundbreaking partnership is
focused on equipping women across the marketing, media and
entertainment industries with the knowledge and tools they need to
lead in the AI revolution.”
The Women in AI Summit is the beginning of a larger movement to
ensure that women are fully represented and actively shaping the
future of AI. Event highlights include:
- Panel Discussions: The summit will feature panels on a
range of topics, including AI’s impact on storytelling, the role of
AI for creators, the future of advertising and strategies for
better investing in female leaders in AI.
- Actionable Dialogues: Attendees will engage in
meaningful discussions aimed at driving practical and equitable AI
use-cases across industries.
