The Visionary Leaders Forum Sparks a Movement in AI Leadership
What happens when brilliant minds in data and AI come together? They spark change.
Last Apri 2 to 4, 2025, the Visionary Leaders Forum (VLF) hosted by World Leaders in Data & AI (WLDA) took place in the stunning desert oasis of Scottsdale, Arizona. But this wasn’t just another conference—it was a gathering that ignited fresh ideas, powerful connections, and a true sense of community among the most influential women in the AI and data space.
The forum brought together C-suite executives and senior leaders from Fortune 1000 companies to dive deep into the future of AI, leadership, and innovation. For many, it was an opportunity to share knowledge, discuss challenges, and explore new possibilities that will shape the next wave of AI transformation.
Wendy Lawhead, Director of AI Product Development at Pfizer, summed up the experience perfectly: “The VLF was a powerful gathering of innovators, changemakers, and thought leaders. The discussions on AI transformation and board leadership sparked inspiring conversations that will continue to impact the way we lead and innovate.”
The event wasn’t just about listening to great speakers—it was about engaging with them. Attendees heard from industry trailblazers like Sandy Carter, COO of Unstoppable Domains, who shared insights on AI, Web3, and blockchain; Amit Prakash, Co-founder of ThoughtSpot, who explored the future of AI agents; and Suzanne Brown, a board search expert who shared tips on breaking into the boardroom.
But it wasn’t all about the sessions. The real magic happened in the networking spaces, where authentic connections were made and relationships began that will last far beyond the forum.
Now, the momentum from Scottsdale is driving us forward, and we’re excited to announce that the next Visionary Leaders Forum will be in San Diego, from April 1-3, 2026.
Don’t miss out—this is your chance to be part of the conversation, the learning, and the future of AI leadership. Pre-register today for the 2026 VLF and join us as we continue to shape the future of data, AI, and leadership together.
