About the Initiative

Important ideas deserve to be heard.

Following the cancellation of Grace Hopper Celebration 2026, Women in AI USA is bringing our community together to create a space for speakers whose presentations were affected.

Voices United celebrates their knowledge, perspectives, and contributions. Through four days of virtual sessions, we are keeping conversations moving and connections alive.

Women lifting other women up.

This is a collaborative, supportive initiative grounded in a simple belief: we move forward when we share what we know and make space for one another.

A global community. A shared stage.

Organized by Women in AI USA and streaming on Leapcast, the showcase takes place October 27–30, 2026, from 11:00 AM–1:00 PM Central each day.

Our independence matters.

Voices United is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or organized by AnitaB.org. It certainly does not replace Grace Hopper Celebration, but together we wanted to continue the fire it brings to our women in tech community. It is an independent initiative to support affected speakers and amplify their voices.
