Ada Lovelace was a mathematician and often called the first computer programmer. According to the Office of the Chief Scientist, women comprise only 28% of the STEM workforce and even less for women in the new and emerging tech industries.

So picture this:

• CJ Jones, the Head of Generative AI Design from Canva, unveiling the secrets of AI and design;

• Cheryl Shannon, the Technology Deployment Manager from IBM, decoding the intersection of sports and data; and

• Cassie Jenkins, the Horticultural Operations Technician from InvertiGro, cultivating the future of indoor vertical farming.

No, we're not in the future. This happened in real-time as we held our fantastic live podcast event, which brought together over 100 curious minds in the audience and these brilliant women in STEM experts on the panel.
