Taking place on Wednesday, July 30th from 4:30 to 6:30 PM, this event brings together women in tech from across the Buffalo region to explore how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of digital products.
We’ll kick things off with a keynote presentation from Priyanka Carella, Senior Director of Product and Platform Engineering at Delaware North.
