12:20 PM PANEL DISCUSSION: ADVANCING WOMEN IN AI AND TECHNOLOGY

AI and technology face a global talent shortage, yet women remain underrepresented due to systemic barriers, confidence gaps, and myths about talent scarcity. With IT remaining an isolated function, it is more cruicial than ever to hire leaders who can communicate cross-functionally and effectively implement AI globally. This panel discussion explores how to recognise women’s strengths, break cultural and structural barriers, and design effective upskilling and retention strategies.

• Build stronger pipelines by challenging the “women are hard to find” myth with targeted outreach

• Increase representation by redesigning recruitment and promotion practices for inclusivity

• Boost innovation by leveraging women’s multitasking, efficiency, and collaboration strengths

• Strengthen retention by creating tailored upskilling and mentorship pathways
