Microsoft Ignite Opening Reception by Women in AI

Unwind After Day 1 of Microsoft Ignite

As the opening day of Microsoft Ignite comes to a close, Women in AI invites you to an elevated evening reception just minutes from Moscone Center. It’s an intimate gathering for the founders, technical leaders, and investors shaping how AI agents, copilots, and cloud infrastructure are built and deployed across the enterprise.

There are no keynotes and no slides, just considered conversation among peers over a curated menu of passed and stationed hors d’oeuvres and a full bar featuring wine, craft beer, signature cocktails, and a zero-proof option, hosted at JAX Vineyards in SoMa.

🎯 Who We’re Gathering
Founders and CTOs of AI-native companies, enterprise AI and platform leaders, engineers building agentic systems and AI applications, and the investors backing them. Attendance is limited to 60–100 guests, and every registration is personally reviewed.

Please register with your work email; registrations with personal email addresses won't be approved.
