We’re incredibly proud of AWIT’s CEO, Nancy Wang, for co-hosting this transformative event. She helped lead impactful conversations on women in AI, tech innovation, and leadership. 💜 🎥 As seen in the video: ✅ A packed room filled with inspiring women and allies. ✅ Opportunities for connection, mentorship, and collaboration. ✅ A celebration of diversity, showcasing what’s possible when women lead.
