London Women in AI For Science Breakfast

Join us for a morning of connection and conversation, hosted by Pillar VC. We’re bringing together women working at the intersection of AI, deep-tech, and entrepreneurship to: Explore the frontiers of AI - with a spotlight on how advanced models are being applied across scientific disciplines, from drug discovery to materials design. We'll discuss what's new, and what's next. Share support - quick overviews on how Pillar VC can support you, and a spotlight on the Encode: AI for Science Fellowship. Deepen relationships - from academia, to industry, to venture. We're committed to ensuring you meet someone new, who can support your work long after the event ends. What's the agenda? During the event, we'll engage in a quick group discussion and facilitate new connections amongst the group too. Our goal throughout is to accelerate your work. Who should join? Whether you’re a founder building in AI, an academic with a bold research idea, or simply curious about the future of science and technology, this breakfast is a chance to meet peers and spark collaborations. This event is a woman-focused event that intends an inclusive definition of women. We are welcoming and respectful of women, including trans women and those who are nonbinary, gender non-conforming, and anyone who identifies as a woman in a way that is significant to them. We also welcome allies who are committed to creating environments that are supportive of people who are typically underrepresented in the workplace and beyond. 📍 London☕ Light buffet refreshments provided🤝 Spaces are limited - please register to join Note: There may be photography at this event.
