AI is reshaping how we work and how we lead, and the conversation is shifting from “will it take my job?” to “how do I stay ahead of it?”

Join World Leaders in Data and AI (WLDA) and Women in Technology (WiT) for an evening conversation on what it really takes to thrive in an AI-driven workplace. Rather than dwelling on the hype or the anxiety around automation, we’ll dig into what actually matters: which skills set you apart right now, how to position yourself for growth as roles evolve, and why human connection, not just technical fluency, is becoming the real differentiator.

The evening opens with a keynote from WLDA’s Founder, Asha Saxena, followed by a fireside chat with Sowmya Gottipati, CIO at Estée Lauder, and cross-industry leaders on how organizations are navigating AI adoption, and what it means for your career trajectory.
Come network with peers from Estée Lauder and the WLDA community, hear real talk from leaders who’ve been in the room where these decisions get made, and leave with a few concrete ideas you can act on Monday morning.
Get ready for the conversation. Queue these up before you arrive:
