WOMEN IN AI
Empowering the leaders of tomorrow.
Our heart
The Young Women Leaders in AI Program.
With initial funding by the Australian Government’s Women in STEM and Entrepreneurship (WISE) program, Young Women Leaders in AI brings together Australia’s brightest young women in a community of education, mentorship and opportunity in the field of AI. A 12-month program, participants will emerge as confident innovators in the technology industry. Applications are open to women aged 16 – 26.
POSTPONED
Planned for Sept/Oct 2020 - dates to be confirmed!
Our top priority is the well being of our participants, partners and organisers. We have been carefully monitoring the evolving COVID-19 situation, and have sought the advice of senior government health officials regarding the appropriate management of large gatherings.
In the interest of ensuring the well being of all our participants, The Young Women Leaders in AI Program Management Committee has made the decision to postpone the 2020 camp until later in the year. This is inline with a number of large events being cancelled or postponed both locally and Internationally (eg. AWS Sydney, Geneva Motor Show, GDC … )
We would like to ask you for your understanding and apologise for any inconveniences caused.
We are actively investigating options for alternative events and activities, and will communicate those details as soon as they are available. This information will also be available on our website
In the meantime, we will continue to engage with our community through our Slack, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn channels.
We look forward to connecting with you all again soon.

Our why
Right now, we're defining the future.
As a catalyst for changing the way we as humans exist, right now, there is no bigger conversation than artificial intelligence. Its potential for positive application is undeniable, but equally the risks associated with getting it wrong could be disastrous.
We’re stepping up to help develop, connect and inspire women so they can make their contribution to the future of AI.

As a mentor during the 2018 YWLIAI camp, it was an incredible experience to share knowledge with these young ladies and day by day to watch their confidence grow.

It’s a great event for anyone to come and try something new. I’d never taken an AI workshop before, so coming here and meeting people that are also not from a tech background is really good and makes you more willing to try it.
