Machine Learning and AI have been at the core of many businesses. AI allows businesses to implement powerful solutions that increase productivity and give their customers delightful experiences. But, as we all know, with great power comes great responsibility! When it comes to AI, there are a lot of security considerations that need to be accounted for, such as user data privacy, wrong prediction implications, vulnerability to model manipulation, bias, explainability, and much more.
Does your company have an AI Security framework? Together, we’ll embark on the journey of implementing an AI framework, similar to the one we have at BILL. We’ll examine the security concerns that we faced at every step and the resulting AI security framework that it led to.
The Why: As AI and ML become more prevalent in every business, it’s important to start thinking about the AI security framework now, as opposed to waiting for the first breach or incident.
Key Takeaways:
This session is for you if… you work in the space of AI or Security.
When preparing to make an important ask, such as asking for a raise, requesting an international office transfer, or pitching a bold new idea, imposter syndrome can stop us from asking for what we want, deserve, and believe in.
In this creative workshop, we will dive deeper into understanding the 5 archetypes of imposter syndrome and you will create your own tool to help you overcome the imposter whenever it rears its ugly head.
The Why: Imposter syndrome is one of the key reasons women are not asking for what they want and deserve.

The world has experienced its fair share of shared trauma in the last three years. On top of that, individual struggles like health issues or the passing of a loved one mean your employees and colleagues are no strangers to experiencing turbulence in their lives.
While advice on how to react to specific hardships is plentiful, we often look for them because we’re worried about saying or doing the right thing. Truly supporting those who are suffering through a multitude of issues requires us to decenter ourselves to understand different perspectives in terms of communication and support.
Content Warning: Please note that this session may cover topics that some may find uncomfortable to engage in including mental health and health conditions.

Sustainable product design is the new frontier of design. Resources on the planet are limited, and excessive depletion, pollution and carbon emission are causing global climate change. Proliferation of consumer electronics with technologies like IoT and AI is exacerbating the problem.

Despite a heightened focus on DEI+B, particularly in the wake of the recent Black Lives Matter protests around the world, more talks around corporate social responsibility and an increase in underserved women founders in STEM/Tech industries, there still remains significant gaps between talk and action at many companies.
LinkedIn data shows that while 69% of talent professionals agree their organizations are committed to more diverse hiring, only 47% feel their hiring managers are held accountable for interviewing a diverse slate of candidates so this equates to prepared diverse talent not having access for equitable hiring practices, recruitment or advancement in the workplace.
In this session we’ll explore and dig into ways recruiters, managers and team leads can not only recruit qualified diverse talent but prepare the company culture for their arrival and advancement in leadership roles.
As leaders and managers, we have moments when a curveball strikes, seemingly out of nowhere. We find ourselves faced with making a strategic decision with incomplete information and a high degree of uncertainty. If ever there was a moment to pause and think intentionally about leading through complexity and uncertainty, that time is now.

A critical ingredient of high-performance in any organization is a culture of psychological safety. Belonging is essential to humans. In times of social unrest, anxiety, post-pandemic fear and overall life stress, it’s vital that organizations create a way to galvanize support and manage complex change to create a culture where every employee, regardless of their background, feels that they belong.
Because the need to belong is universal and fundamental, focusing on it has the power to draw in the entire workforce, even those who might feel excluded from — or threatened by — current DE&I directives.
Psychological safety at work doesn’t mean that everybody is nice to each other all the time. It means that people feel free to “”brainstorm out loud,”” voice half-finished thoughts, openly challenge the status quo, share feedback, and work through disagreements together — knowing that leaders value honesty, candor, and truth-telling, and that team members will have one another’s backs. It is an atmosphere in which people fearlessly engage, question, experiment, and deliver value rather than fearing, blaming, and spending time protecting themselves. In this workshop, you’ll develop skills for growing psychological safety in yourself, your teams, and your organization.
The Why: Organizations that focus on creating environments centered around promoting psychological safety see increased employee retention, improved productivity and performance, greater creativity and innovation and an elevated employee experience.
So, who is responsible for creating such safety? All of us! When we model and cultivate psychological safety, we enable greater transparency, closer relationships, improved collaboration, and better outcomes.
