Add to calendar

Wilson Sonsini is partnering with Duco to host an intimate, invitation-only evening bringing together women working at the intersection of AI safety, policy, governance, and risk. Attendance will be limited to ensure a candid, high-quality discussion.

The goal is to exchange insights, challenge assumptions, and surface the questions that actually matter as AI systems move from theory to real-world deployment.

The discussion will focus on:

How AI safety, governance, and policy are evolving in practice
How women in this space are shaping outcomes—often quietly, but decisively

This is a private, small-group conversation. While attendance is by invitation only and space is limited, individuals working in this space who are interested in participating are welcome to reach out to Layan Khrais (lkhrais@wsgr.com) or Rebecca Davidson (rdavidson@wsgr.com) to express interest.
