### About this Event

Each year around Equal Pay Day, Carolina Women+ in Tech (CWIT) brings our community together to tackle confidence, career growth, education, and equality for women+.
In 2026, we’re zooming in on AI and innovation—and how they can either accelerate equity or unintentionally reinforce bias. From hiring and promotions to pay transparency and workplace culture, AI is already shaping decisions that impact opportunity. When we understand how these tools work (and how to influence them), we build the confidence to advocate for ourselves, ask better questions, and lead with impact.
Join us for an AI & Innovation panel, networking, and vendors—plus practical takeaways you can apply right away to strengthen your confidence muscle and help create more equitable outcomes in tech.
Registration closes on March 3rd, 2026.
Included in the ticket: breakfast, beverages, AI & Innovation panel, and intentional speed networking
