Women In Business Symposium: Business. Reimagined. Experience What’s Possible with AI.

February 12, 2026 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM (EST)

Description


Discover how artificial intelligence is reshaping the future of business in ways that are practical, human-centered, and full of possibility. The Women in Business Symposium 2026 brings together industry experts, innovators, and forward-thinking leaders for a day designed to shift perspectives and inspire new ways of working.

Through insightful keynote sessions, engaging conversations, and hands-on AI demonstrations, you’ll explore how intelligent technologies can spark creativity, strengthen decision-making, elevate customer experience, and unlock new opportunities in your business or career. This is not a technical conference — it’s a dynamic, real-world look at how AI is changing the way we lead, think, and grow.

Join us for a powerful, interactive experience that blends mindset, innovation, and the future of work. Business is evolving. Come experience what’s possible.

The Women in Business Symposium 2026 brings together a standout lineup of innovators shaping the future of business and technology.

· Laura Scarlett Martin, AI Strategist & Educator, explores the human side of AI and its impact on communication and decision-making.

· Greg LePard, Cybersecurity Expert & Co-Founder of Cybersnap, shares real-world insights on AI-driven risks and digital protection.

· Jason Hunter, Senior Manager, Mixed Reality Capture Studio, Durham College, leads an immersive, hands-on AI experience designed to spark new ideas.

· Jeany Crux, Speaker & Brand Consultant, delivers an energetic mindset reset focused on confidence and presence.

· Dr. Carolyn McGregor, Dean, Faculty of Business & IT at Ontario Tech University, closes the day with a powerful keynote on the future of AI and its impact on leadership and society.

Together, they offer a practical, inspiring, and future-focused look at what’s possible with AI.
