Cocktails & Conversations: The New AI Era (Presented by In Her Empire Era)

In Her Empire Era Presents: The New AI Era
Cocktails & Conversations - A Live Panel Evening

The rules are changing. The question is whether you're writing the new ones or waiting to be told what they are.

AI is reshaping every industry - and the women who will come out ahead aren't the ones who feared it. They're the ones who got in the room, had the honest conversation, and decided what their new era looks like.

On Thursday 13 August, In Her Empire Era is bringing together some of Auckland's most ambitious women in creative business for a live panel conversation about exactly that. No hype. No jargon. Just real, honest talk about what AI actually means for the way we work, build and grow.

You'll hear from Karrina Mountfort (Founding CIO at Webbased AI, Founder of The AI Assembly®), Angela March (Founder of Brainchild PR), and Loren Tomlinson (Founder & Director of The Social Collective) - three women in the thick of it, using AI, navigating it, and refusing to be afraid of it. Then the floor opens up. This isn't a lecture. It's a conversation, and you're part of it.

The panel will be recorded as a live In Her Empire Era podcast episode - so the conversation keeps going long after the night ends. But the Q&A that follows is just for the room. Off the record, unfiltered, and only for the people who showed up. This is exactly why you get in the room.

What to expect:

• A live panel with Karrina Mountfort, Angela March, and Loren Tomlinson

• A live audience Q&A after the panel - not recorded, just for the room

• Cocktails and nibbles on arrival

• A curated goodie bag on your seat

• A room full of ambitious women who are building something
