Harnessing AI to Empower Women - Women in Exhibitions

12th March 2026 | 1pm - 2pm

LEVEL: Mixed - all levels, from first leadership role to senior executive

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how we work, communicate and deliver events. But while AI presents powerful opportunities for productivity and creativity, it also raises important questions about bias, confidence and capability.

In this interactive session, Vanessa Lovatt (Founder, Event Tech World) moderates a practical conversation with AI specialist Lucy Postlethwaite on how women can confidently harness AI tools in their work today. Together they will explore the most useful GenAI tools, how professionals can stay competitive as AI adoption grows, and what women need to know about bias in AI systems.

Expect practical examples, audience participation and a lively discussion designed to increase confidence and AI literacy.

I currently have the brilliant opportunity of taking part in the Women in Exhibitions mentorship scheme as both a mentor and a mentee. I chose Simon Foster to be my mentor and what a great choice. His extensive knowledge and support has helped to not only progress Broadway Events, but me as a business leader. Simon has a wealth of experience in the exhibition sector and I am very lucky that I get to learn from his experiences.

I have been fortunate to take part in the Layered Development Training and Mentoring Scheme with Women in Exhibitions. The programme has given me the insight and knowledge to develop myself professionally and put the training into practice. The training has really helped with my mentoring sessions, where I have been able to see and report on my progress as well work to my strengths and my teams.

I cannot recommend the Women In Exhibitions initiative highly enough - between my personalised mentoring sessions and the access to training I have received, I have found it to be in invaluable experience.
