Inspiring Women is a boutique two-day conference exploring leadership, confidence, ambition, and the realities behind success. Immersive and connection-led, this is not a traditional conference.

Go past chatting with Claude and get it doing real work with you. Once you are past the basics, Claude can take on whole tasks, not just answer questions. In this practical session you'll learn how to hand Claude multi-step work, give it the right files and context, build workflows you can run again, and check the output before you rely on it.
