Join the Centre for Legal Innovation and Vanderbilt Law School in collaboration with Gilbert + Tobin on 29 July 2025 in person for the groundbreaking Women + AI APAC Summit at Gilbert + Tobin's Sydney offices. This one-day event is part of a global initiative launched by founder Professor Cat Moon in the USA in February, and brings together visionary female leaders at the forefront of AI innovation across the Asia-Pacific region.

The Summit serves as a perfect complement to the Women + AI APAC Workshop taking place the previous day (28 July) – you can find information about that here.
