Who CREATE Is For
Already building
You’re putting AI to work in real work already underway — your organization or your own venture.
Bring the whole you
Crystals and spreadsheets, tarot and prompts, movement and models. You don’t leave the woo at the door to be taken seriously.
New or known
New to She Leads AI or already part of it, you’re ready to gather with us in person.
Hands on
You learn by doing — printmaking, dancing, building — not watching from the back.
Inside CREATE Conference 2025
In Their Words
The women who were there last year, in their own words. Short videos from CREATE Conference 2025.
What We Stand For
Women in AI Leadership
Connect with mission-driven professionals, from established leaders to emerging innovators, all shaping the future of AI.
Human-Centered Innovation
Move beyond big tech. Explore how emotional intelligence, ethics, and creativity are the true drivers of AI value.
Women’s Economic Growth
Your financial growth is not a side effect of this work. We advance the wealth, income, and economic power of women in AI.
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.

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.
