NEW YORK, Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Female Quotient (The FQ) will host their second annual AI Summit on Wednesday, November 12, 2025 at Webster Hall in New York City.

• AI in action. Mainstage conversations and case studies will show how work is changing across industry.

"We are past the hype cycle. This year is about putting AI to work with clarity and accountability to move our business forward, and we are ensuring women are at the forefront. When women help design and deploy the tools, companies build better products and better cultures," said Talia Bender Small, President, The Female Quotient.

"Co-hosting with The FQ for a second year is an honor. When Talia and I first envisioned the summit, we wanted to spark curiosity around AI. This year, we're focused on action - equipping leaders with tactical playbooks to bring AI into their organizations with confidence. I'm especially proud that the Women in AI Creative Cohort will welcome a new class later this year, opening doors and transforming careers," said Taryn Crouthers, CEO, SPCSHP & Co-Host, AI Summit.
