CREATE 2026The Human-Centered AI Conference for Women
The whole community in one place.
Salt Lake City · October 16–18, 2026
Gather With UsCREATE Conference 2026 is She Leads AI’s annual human-centered AI conference for women, October 16–18, 2026 at the Hilton Salt Lake City Center.
Why CREATE
You’ve learned alongside this community on screens — Social Saturday mornings and threads across time zones. That exchange is how women move so fast in She Leads AI. Faster than any tutorial, faster than figuring it out alone. Knowledge moves straight from one woman to the next, and everyone gets way ahead. CREATE is the three days a year that exchange happens in person — the whole community in one place.
CREATE is where the whole She Leads AI community gathers in one place.
What We Stand For
Women in AI Leadership
Connect with other leaders, entrepreneurs, educators, and founders at the forefront of the AI Everything Era.
Human-Centered AI
CREATE runs on rapid knowledge transfer and community.
Women’s Purpose-Led Wealth
Career stability and income resilience. Entrepreneurism and economic mobility, multiplied by the thing we choose on purpose — intentional education.
AI Adoption as Resistance
She Leads AI founder Anne Murphy takes the main stage at CREATE Conference 2026 with a keynote that reframes what it means to adopt AI — not as compliance, not as inevitability, but as a deliberate act of agency.
In a world where AI is often positioned as something that happens to you, Anne’s keynote argues that choosing how, when, and why you integrate AI is one of the most powerful moves a leader can make right now.

Gather With Us
The Analog Art Lab
Between sessions on AI strategy, give your brain a different kind of workout. Futurist Cyndi Coon and artist Kathy Cano-Murillo (The Crafty Chica) are creating a pop-up printmaking lab where you’ll shift from screens to stamps and from consuming to creating.
Pick up a small blank canvas, move through guided creative stops, choose stamps that speak to you, and build your own visual story. At the end, scan a QR code for a personalized reading about your piece.
Open throughout CREATE Conference 2026, October 16–18 in Salt Lake City. A hands-on break from the digital, built into your conference experience.

Inside CREATE Conference 2025
Who CREATE Is For
- You’re putting AI to work inside work already underway — in your organization or your own venture.
- You’ve been part of She Leads AI online — Social Saturday or the Society — and want the in-person version.
- You’re new to She Leads AI and want to experience the community firsthand.
And who it’s not for — if you’re looking for a heads-down engineering conference, CREATE isn’t it. The sessions are for women putting AI to work in their fields. And if you want to watch from the back, CREATE will ask more of you — the Buildathon and the printmaking lab are hands-on.
Questions on tickets or refunds — the FAQ has answers.
