## *About the Event*
## 🎟️[Secure the tickets here](https://www.womeninleadership.ca/events-1/women-in-leadership-wil-day-event-2026).
**Event Overview**
The Women in Leadership (WIL) Toronto Chapter is proud to host a special event in celebration of WIL Day 2026. This gathering will bring together professionals for an inspiring evening centered on leadership, wellbeing, and meaningful connection.
The program will feature an engaging workshop, a dynamic panel discussion, and curated networking opportunities - each designed to empower leaders to explore how wellbeing can be harnessed as a strategic advantage to drive both personal effectiveness and organizational success.
**Workshop overview:**
**Unlocking the Power of the Female Nervous System: Lead with Clarity & Presence**
Most corporate environments were not designed with women’s biology in mind. The result? High-performing women are 1.5x more likely than men to experience burnout.
This experiential workshop offers a different path.
You’ll learn how your nervous system shapes your leadership, decision-making, and resilience - and how to work with it, not against it. Through practical tools and guided practices, you’ll build the capacity to regulate in real time, access grounded presence, and lead with greater clarity, confidence, and influence.
**Panel abstract:**
**Sustainable Leadership: Wellness as a Strategic Advantage**
Wellness is no longer a personal luxury - it is a leadership imperative.
The Women in Leadership Foundation and CIBC invites you to an insightful panel discussion exploring how wellness directly influences decision-making, team performance, innovation, and long-term career growth.
Featuring three distinguished female leaders from diverse industries, this moderated session will explore:
* Wellness as a competitive leadership advantage
* Designing work rhythms that protect energy and performance
* Modeling healthy leadership for teams and organizations
* Integrating personal values into professional success
Participants will gain practical tools and frameworks they can immediately apply to elevate both their well-being, leadership effectiveness and visibility.

Inclusive AI in Practice: A Cross-Sector Roundtable
**Moving from Conversation to Implementation**
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping workplaces, products, services, and decision-making systems across sectors. As organizations accelerate AI adoption, many teams are being asked to make high-impact decisions without clear governance structures, shared implementation standards, or practical guidance for assessing risk, accountability, accessibility, and long-term impact.
Across workforce, technical, and community contexts, organizations are grappling with how to ensure AI is implemented in ways that are inclusive, responsible, and grounded in real-world realities. HR professionals, AI practitioners, nonprofit leaders, governance stakeholders, and community advocates each hold critical perspectives on how AI systems can either reinforce existing inequities or help build more equitable futures.
This in-person QT Inclusive AI Roundtable brings together professionals across sectors for a facilitated cross-sector working session focused on one core question:
**What do organizations actually need in order to implement inclusive AI responsibly in practice?**
This session is designed as a collaborative implementation lab where leaders and professionals can explore the real-world challenges of implementing AI responsibly, share practical insights across sectors, and help shape the tools, frameworks, and approaches organizations need to move from theory into action.
Through guided dialogue, peer exchange, implementation exercises, and collaborative activities, participants will explore:
* where AI is already influencing organizational decisions and systems
* the governance, operational, and accountability tensions organizations are navigating
* how different sectors experience and define AI risks differently
* where misalignments and gaps currently exist
* what practical tools, frameworks, and supports are needed to move from theory into implementation
Grounded in queer-informed approaches to systems, safety, accessibility, and community-centred accountability, this session centers lived experience as a critical source of implementation insight. Participants will examine how AI systems can unintentionally reproduce invisibility, exclusion, surveillance, or harm when deployed without meaningful community grounding or governance structures.
This session is part of QueerTech’s broader initiative to move from conversation into practical implementation. Insights gathered through this roundtable will directly contribute to the development of community-informed toolkits, frameworks, case studies, and practical resources designed to support organizations implementing inclusive AI across sectors.
The session will include both implementation perspective-based discussions and cross-sector exchange, creating space for participants to deepen within their own organizational realities while learning from different approaches, constraints, and experiences across the ecosystem.
Participants are encouraged to bring:
* real organizational scenarios
* current implementation challenges
* governance questions
* operational tensions
* decision points they are actively navigating
**Following this roundtable, there is a QT Connect for the broader community at the same location in the evening.**
**Participants will Leave With:**
✨ A clearer understanding of the governance, operational, and accountability challenges organizations are currently facing in AI implementation
✨ Cross-sector perspectives on how AI risks, tensions, and opportunities are experienced differently across workforce, technical, governance, and community contexts
✨ Greater insight into the practical tools, frameworks, and supports organizations need to move from intention into responsible implementation
✨ New ways of thinking about inclusion, safety, visibility, and accountability through queer-informed and lived-experience perspectives
✨ Practical ideas, questions, and next steps to bring back into their organization, team, or community
✨ Connections with peers across sectors navigating similar implementation realities and decision-making challenges
✨ The opportunity to contribute to the development of future QT Inclusive AI resources, frameworks, and toolkits
This roundtable is supported by WAGE (Women and Gender Equality) Canada and by RBC’s approach to helping strengthen the capacity of Canada’s nonprofit sector.
**Who Should Attend**
This session welcomes professionals working across:
* HR, workforce, and organizational leadership
* AI, product, design, and technical systems
* Nonprofit, public, and community-serving organizations
* Governance, policy, accessibility, legal, and strategy roles
* Research, advocacy, and ecosystem-building spaces
No advanced technical expertise is required.

**About QT Inclusive AI**
QT Inclusive AI is a national initiative designed to support professionals across Canada in understanding, assessing, and applying inclusive AI practices within real organizational contexts. Through curriculum, assessment tools, facilitated dialogue, and community-informed resource development, participants examine how AI systems are being used in practice and where risks, tensions, and opportunities are emerging.
The goal of QT Inclusive AI is to help translate responsible AI principles into practical implementation across technical and non-technical environments.

#94: AI 双面圆桌派 02 ~ AI 时代的理财之道
你有没有试过,让 AI 帮你解释 ETF、看一只股票、算退休,或者判断该不该提前还房贷?
它说得很快。
也很像那么回事。
但理财最难的,常常不是看懂一个产品。
而是看清自己的约束:收入、家庭、税务、房贷、风险承受力,还有你晚上能不能睡得着。
这一场,我们继续用「AI 双面圆桌派」的方式,聊 AI + 理财。
我们会聊几个普通人真的会遇到的问题:
* AI 能帮我们省下哪些查资料、做比较、读文件的时间?
* 为什么同样收入、同样资产的两个家庭,答案可能完全不同?
* AI 给出的投资观点,普通人可以怎么验证,而不是直接相信?
* 金融平台越来越智能之后,效率、推荐和用户保护之间怎么平衡?
* 当金融骗局从群发话术变成个性化关系,我们该如何提高警觉?
这不是一场投资课。
也不会给个股推荐。
我们更想聊的是:
AI 可以帮我们更快看懂信息,但它不能替我们承担后果。

**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
