An AI Academy Grounded in Powerful Community
Speak at Social Saturday
Every Saturday morning, women working with AI come together on Zoom to teach each other what they know. We’d love to have you in the speaker slot. Here’s everything you need to decide.
Here’s what to know before you say yes — what She Leads AI is, who joins us on a Saturday, the ways you can speak, and what we ask of you.
01
What She Leads AI Is
An AI Academy grounded in powerful community.
She Leads AI is the AI education and community platform for women in human-centered AI — an AI Academy grounded in powerful community. It is a home for women practitioners, educators, founders, and consultants who are already working with AI in their organizations, their classrooms, their consultancies, and their lives.
How we got here
She Leads AI began in January 2023 as a hashtag on social media and grew into an event series, a community, an AI academy, and an in-person conference. Since launching the She Leads AI Society in January 2024, we have platformed 300 women in AI on virtual and in-person stages and hosted 400 AI community events.
Social Saturday is a big part of that — the free weekly gathering where much of this begins, and the one you’re being invited to speak at.
Our work runs across a few connected pieces — and underneath all of it, the She Leads AI Society, whose members underwrite Social Saturday so it stays no cost for all women.
AI Academy
Certified AI Educator — the credential, the curriculum, and a faculty of women shaping how their fields learn AI. Built for women already teaching and facilitating on AI.
AI Consulting AcceleratorFor women building an AI consulting practice — from first offer to first clients. You leave with the playbooks, the toolset, and the network.

What Social Saturday Is
Where women gather to make sense of AI, together.
Social Saturday is the weekly gathering for human-centered AI practitioners — two hours every Saturday morning where women come together to learn with AI. From seasoned practitioners to the newly curious, we gather on Zoom to make sense of our collective AI journey.
Our speaker might be a practitioner sharing what she’s learned in her field, or a strategist presenting the framework she’s built, or a new founder, or a total beginner.
Our co-hosts run the event itself — they handle announcements and intros, and they facilitate the Q&A that typically opens into a group-wide discussion. The speaker speaks during her section, and the co-host runs the rest. Many of our most engaged community members first met us here.
It runs every Saturday from 10am to noon Pacific on Zoom, always at no cost to attend. Social Saturday is made possible by the She Leads AI Society, our membership program for human-centered AI practitioners.
03
Who You’d Be Speaking To
Women from across the world who are already working with AI in some way — beginner to advanced.
Our expert speakers typically pitch their talks to the intermediate woman in the audience.
Inside that range you’ll find founders of AI companies and service providers, in-house AI leads running rollouts and AI Councils, mid-career professionals moving into AI from another field, decision-makers with 20–30 years of expertise adding AI to their leadership, governance professionals, and visual creatives working with AI tools.
They work across business, law, education, healthcare, HR, tech, and the nonprofit sector. International — we draw from the US, UK, Europe, Asia, and beyond. They come because they want practical knowledge from women who have done the thing, and because they want each other.
04
Three Formats
Choose the format that suits your content. We confirm it with you before scheduling.
Two-Speaker Pairing
You and one other woman share the speaker block. Each of you presents for 20 minutes, with conversation between and after.
- Best for
- Tighter, more focused topics — and when complementary perspectives lift both talks.
Podcast-Style Interview
Anne or a co-host interviews you. ~20–30 minutes. You answer questions about your work, and we open the floor to the audience after.
- Best for
- When presenting isn’t your favorite mode, or your content lives better in conversation than in slides.
05

Ready to Speak, Say Yes
The next step is the Workshop Maker, our tool for putting a session description together. Talk it, type it, or upload what you have, and it builds the prompt that writes your session description with you — then you send the finished description to Kate, our point of contact for She Leads AI events, and she takes it from there.
Build Your Session Description
Opens the Workshop Maker in a new tab. Choose Social Saturday as the event. When your description is ready, the Send button inside opens an email to Kate.
If you already applied to speak at CREATE, we have that application on file. Send a fresh session description for Social Saturday through the Workshop Maker and we’ll work from your latest.
