We have something special coming for our community. โœจ

We're partnering with Blomma to bring you ๐˜ฝ๐™š๐™ฉ ๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐™”๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง๐™จ๐™š๐™ก๐™› โ€” a virtual session with Silvia Oviedo Lopez, co-founder of Blomma โ€”an AI career coach built to help you growโ€” for an honest conversation about one of the hardest questions many of us carry quietly:

๐—›๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ธ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ถ๐˜'๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ?

Not a highlight reel. The real story โ€” the signals, the fears, and three pivotal moments when Silvia knew it was time to bet on herself.

Expect a candid talk, live Q&A, and reflection materials to take with you.

We closed the the way we started it โ€” with brilliance, boldness, and a whole lot of inspiration. ๐Ÿ’œโœจ

In our closing keynote, What It Takes to Create Agents in Production, Arushee Garg and Alejandra Budar from LinkedIn took us deep into the technical frontier of AI โ€” demystifying agents, breaking down multi-agent architectures, and equipping attendees with the real-world knowledge needed to build and scale production-ready AI systems. From LangGraph to LangSmith, this session was as technically rich as it was accessible.

What a way to close out the day. The audience was engaged, energized, and genuinely inspired โ€” proof that this community shows up not just to be motivated, but to learn, to grow, and to lead at the highest level.

To every speaker, moderator, panelist, and workshop leader who gave their time, knowledge, and heart to this Summit โ€” thank you. You made this day unforgettable. And to everyone who attended from across the globe โ€” this community is the reason we do what we do. ๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ™

Until next time. ๐Ÿ’œ

Building AI responsibly isn't optional. It's everything. ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ’œ

At the , Dr. Deborah Berebichez delivered a keynote that stopped the room in its tracks. From being told science wasn't for girls, to leading AI product development at one of the world's largest professional services firms, Debbie's journey was as inspiring as the message she brought with her: ethics, governance, privacy, and security must be embedded into the architecture of AI from the very beginning โ€” not treated as an afterthought.

With data, real-world examples, and an unmistakable call to action, she made the case that Latinas aren't just needed at the AI table. We are essential to building AI that actually works for everyone.

The audience was captivated from the first word to the last. This was the kind of keynote that shifts your perspective, sharpens your sense of purpose, and leaves you walking away with both urgency and hope.

Thank you, Debbie, for your brilliance, your boldness, and your belief in this community. You reminded us that the most powerful thing we can bring to the future of AI is exactly who we are. ๐Ÿ™Œโœจ

Your culture isn't a barrier to success. It's your greatest professional asset.

At the , the Heritage as an Asset workshop sparked one of the most soulful and energizing conversations of the entire day. Nora Diaz de Leon, Lauren Lozano, Isabella Velez, Gabriela Rodriguez-Florido, and Natalia Escobar Leiva from Match Group opened up about how their Latina identity shapes the way they build products, lead teams, and navigate careers across a globally recognized portfolio of brands.

This wasn't just a career conversation โ€” it was a celebration of identity. From product design to company culture, the panelists showed us how leaning into who we are โ€” fully and unapologetically โ€” makes us better innovators, better leaders, and better collaborators.

The audience was moved. The chat was overflowing. And the energy in the room reminded us all why representation in tech isn't just important โ€” it's transformative.

Thank you to the entire Match Group team for showing up with such openness and heart. You gave our community permission to bring their whole selves to work โ€” and that is a gift. ๐Ÿ™โœจ

Career growth isn't one path. It's a set of choices and skills that compound over time. ๐Ÿ“ˆ

At the , the Own Your Growth workshop brought together a powerhouse team from The Trade Desk to break down exactly what career acceleration looks like in practice. Daniela Bedoya Arroyave, Laura Cosio, Mara Strich, Danielle Yamane, and Monica Gamez covered it all โ€” the hard skills that future-proof your craft, the soft skills that unlock influence, and the visibility strategies that make your work travel further than you ever imagined.

What made this workshop truly special was how interactive it was. Attendees didn't just listen โ€” they reflected, engaged, and left with a personalized "next 30 days" plan to strengthen their performance, sharpen their presence, and expand their exposure.

Real stories. Real tactics. Real results. This was career development at its most actionable.

Thank you to the entire The Trade Desk team for bringing such energy, generosity, and practical wisdom to our community. You didn't just share advice โ€” you handed us tools we can use starting today. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ™Œ

What does it actually look like to build a high-impact career while staying true to who you are? ๐Ÿ’œ

At the , the Latinas at Intuit panel gave us exactly that โ€” an honest, behind-the-scenes look at what it means to grow, lead, and belong inside one of tech's most dynamic companies. Lina Lozano Oviedo, Flor Aquino Ortiz, Brenda Starr-Hernandez, and Daniela Manrique Escobar shared their journeys across Product, Engineering, Legal, and beyond โ€” and the through line was clear: finding your tribe makes all the difference.

From navigating a large tech landscape to driving innovation at scale, this panel didn't just inspire โ€” it gave attendees a real, relatable roadmap. The conversation was warm, candid, and full of the kind of wisdom you don't find in a textbook.

The audience was deeply engaged throughout โ€” and it showed. This was one of those sessions where you could feel the community aspect of the Summit at its fullest.

Thank you to Anastacia Kasmer for moderating with such care, and to the entire Intuit team for showing up so authentically. You reminded us all that belonging isn't just something you find โ€” it's something you build. ๐Ÿ™Œ

AI is reshaping the future of work. And Latinas have a powerful opportunity to lead that change. ๐ŸŒŸ

At the , Western Governors University brought together leaders in education, technology, and workforce development for a conversation that was as timely as it was necessary. Dr. Linda Battles, Jared Plumb, Sahar Purmul, and Letti McCray explored how women โ€” and Latinas in particular โ€” can harness AI to strengthen their careers, expand their professional visibility, and create new opportunities for advancement.

From combining education and credentials with AI fluency, to understanding what employers are actually looking for in today's hiring landscape, this session delivered insights that were equal parts eye-opening and empowering. The audience was fully present, and the conversation sparked exactly the kind of reflection and motivation that this community thrives on.

A special thank you to Dr. Diana Pacheco for moderating with such intention and depth, and to the entire WGU team for investing in this community and showing up with knowledge that truly levels the field. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ™

Data. Cloud. AI. Three words that are reshaping every industry โ€” and three fields where this community belongs. ๐Ÿ’ปโœจ

At the , Gilda Alvarez, CEO of Waveform Data Solutions, led a hands-on workshop designed to do something really important: turn interest into action. The Data & AI Career Accelerator gave attendees a structured path into some of the most in-demand roles in tech today โ€” with guided frameworks, real skill-building, and the strategic clarity to actually move forward.

Thank you, Gilda, for bringing your expertise and your passion for opening doors in Data, Cloud, and AI to our community. Sessions like this one are a reminder that the future of tech has a place for all of us โ€” and we have everything it takes to lead it. ๐Ÿš€

Let's talk about money. ๐Ÿ’ธ

Not in a vague, overwhelming way โ€” but in the honest, practical, "why didn't anyone teach us this earlier?" kind of way that we all deserve.

At the , Ashley Russo, Wealth Management Advisor at Ask Ashley Wealth Management, led a conversation that felt less like a session and more like a breath of fresh air. From setting meaningful financial goals to understanding today's economic landscape โ€” inflation, market trends, stock options โ€” Ashley broke it all down with clarity, confidence, and zero judgment.

So many of us were never handed a roadmap to financial security. This session started building one. And the room felt it โ€” attendees were engaged, asking real questions, and leaving with a sense of empowerment that goes far beyond the workplace.

Thank you, Ashley, for creating a space where financial clarity felt not just possible, but within reach. This community deserves to feel as confident about their finances as they do about their careers. ๐Ÿ“ˆ
