Her AI Era Summit 2026 — speaker applications open August 3–14
Speaker applications for the 2026 summit are open August 3–14. Join a powerhouse lineup of women using AI with clarity, creativity, and confidence — and show us what you want to teach.
What's this
all about?
Her AI Era Summit is a 5-day online event for women entrepreneurs who are already using AI... and want to do even more with it.
This isn't a beginner event. We're not here to explain what a chatbot is or convince anyone AI is useful. We already know it is.
Now, let's talk about going further with it: saving more time, making more money, creating cool things, and feeling even more supported (and confident!) in our businesses with AI.
Last October, 3,500+ women showed up for year one. This year, we're going deeper — about 30 speakers instead of 60+, which means every talk gets more room to shine and every speaker gets more of the spotlight.
It's part strategy, part creativity, and part HELL YA!
It's created and hosted by women, with a proudly woman-centered and inclusive lineup.
Here's How Summit Week Works
Her AI Era Summit runs October 12–16, with a mix of prerecorded presentations, live conversations, community moments, and a few extremely fun surprises.
Welcome Party, Live Build + Future of AI Panel
We'll officially open the summit, introduce the week ahead, and bring everyone together for our Burnout Book ritual — then keep the energy going with a hands-on midday Build Sesh and our first live panel conversation.
10 Presentations Released Daily
Each speaker's prerecorded presentation will be available free for 24 hours on its assigned release day. We'll also host one live event each day, such as a tech walkthrough, fireside chat, or hands-on Build Sesh.
Wrap-Up Party + Live Monetization Panel
We'll celebrate what attendees learned, announce bingo winners, and close the week with one final live conversation.
The VIP Experience
Attendees can upgrade to the VIP Pass for 12 months of access to every presentation, plus the complete VIP Bonus Bundle.

We're looking for speakers who are:
- Women, including trans women, and nonbinary entrepreneurs who feel at home in a woman-centered space 🫶
- Confident AI users with tactical wisdom to share
- Willing to teach, not just talk
- Excited to promote and participate
- Values-aligned, inclusive, and supportive

What's In It For You?
Yes, this summit grows our audience too — but it's just as much about spotlighting YOU. Here's what speakers walk away with:
Grow Your Email List
Your free resource gets promoted on your presentation page, under your talk, and in summit roundups.
Connect it naturally to your teaching, then invite attendees to take the next step at the end. In year one, some speakers walked away with 300+ new leads.
An Engaged Audience
Year one welcomed 3,500+ smart, values-led women entrepreneurs who were already using AI and ready to go further — mostly US, with real pockets in Australia, the UK, and Canada.
About 1 in 5 upgraded to a paid pass, so 700+ people still hold 12-month access to every talk — yours included.
Get Paid to Promote
Earn 40% commission on every VIP Pass sold through your unique link, or 50% if you contribute to the VIP Bonus Bundle.
In year one we paid out $8,600+ in partner commissions across 37 partners who earned one — and our top few each cleared four figures. ✨
A Free VIP Pass, On Us
You'll receive 12 months of access to every presentation, the VIP Bonus Bundle, and the complete summit experience.
You're a guest of honor here — not just a name on the lineup.
More Spotlight Per Speaker
Year one ran 57 on-demand talks across five tracks. This year it's about 30, on purpose.
Fewer speakers means clearer promotion, more room in our daily programming, and a more thoughtful experience for everyone in the lineup.
A Bigger Movement
Her AI Era is about reclaiming AI for women-led business — with values, clarity, and compassion.
You'll be in a lineup of women teaching real systems instead of hype, in front of an audience that showed up to build something — not to collect another freebie.
Your Talk Gets
Its Own Stage
Here's how we'll help attendees discover, watch, and keep learning from you throughout summit week — and after it.
All eight are included for every accepted speaker. No upgrades required.

All of That Is Included
Every single thing on that list comes with every accepted speaker spot. No tiers, no upgrades, no fine print — bring us a great talk and all of it is yours.
We also know a summit is real work: a talk to make, a resource to build, your own people to tell.
So for anyone who wants their presentation working even harder that week, we'll also open a small number of optional Speaker Partner spots with extra visibility across the summit — and promotion that keeps going after it ends. 🤗
Speakers are picked on their topic, their teaching, and what they add to the lineup — full stop. Partner spots are only offered after that call is made, so checking “Send me the Speaker Partner details” on your application just means we'll share the full details if you're in.
Speaker Requirements
Three requirements — plus one bonus opportunity — designed so your talk works as hard for you as it does for the summit.
A 20-Minute Tutorial Talk
Tangible, actionable how-to trainings — not concepts. Every talk should include:
- Specific, actionable instruction
- A real example, demonstration, or walkthrough where relevant
- A useful takeaway attendees can implement
Include a Free Resource
Include an approved free resource that naturally connects to your presentation.
Teach generously first, then invite attendees to continue with your resource at the end. We recommend connecting it to a thoughtful funnel or relevant paid offer.
It can be something you already offer — no need to build anything new. It just needs to be live and approved by Sept 18 along with your presentation.
Promote to Your Audience
Required of every speaker: one dedicated solo email to your full list, plus one additional dedicated promotion through email, social media, or another approved audience channel.
Your promo window is Sept 28–Oct 12, and we'll send swipe copy, graphics, and your affiliate link so you're never starting from a blank page.
(Optional) Join the VIP Bundle
The VIP Bonus Bundle is the bonus vault attendees get with their VIP Pass — and contributing to it bumps your affiliate commission from 40% to 50%. Your contribution should be:
- An existing paid product, resource, workshop, or experience
- Normally valued at $47 or more
- Relevant to the summit audience
- Subject to approval
Important Dates

Meet Your Hosts
Kinsey Soderberg
Kinsey is the founder of Authentic AI®, where she helps entrepreneurs use AI without losing their voice. Her approach is human-first and rooted in clarity — all about ditching the guilt and using AI to show up more consistently and confidently.
Joyce Hamilton
Joyce has been deep in AI since before it was trendy, and she's the resident brain for turning bots into real revenue — bot products, bot suites, and bot-powered services. She's here to help women ditch the busy and step into serious get-it-done energy.
Together, we created Her AI Era Summit because AI isn't just for the tech bros: 💥 It's a tool for women who deserve a leg up. 🧠 It's a way to reclaim your time and creativity. 📣 And it's a space where your voice matters.
The room from year one wanted somewhere to keep building together — so we built Her AI Club™, and the summit became the front door to a whole community. Year two, let's go.
Tech, Brand, or Media Partner?
We'll also offer a small number of technology, live-experience, interactive-event, and media partnerships for aligned brands that want to support the summit and reach an established audience of AI-savvy women entrepreneurs.
Before You Apply
Does sponsorship affect speaker selection?
No. Speakers are selected on their proposed topic, teaching approach, audience fit, experience, and what they add to the overall lineup. Sponsorship interest isn't part of the selection decision, and Speaker Partner spots are only offered after speakers have already been chosen.
Do I need a massive email list?
No minimum list size. We care about audience fit, engagement, and expertise. What we do need is that you complete the promotional commitments — one solo email to your full list, plus one more dedicated promotion.
Do I need to have spoken at a summit before?
Not at all. We care that you can teach something specific and useful, not that you have a speaking reel. If you've taught this material to clients, inside your own community, or on someone else's podcast, that absolutely counts.
How much time will this actually take?
The main piece is a 20-minute prerecorded talk, due September 18. Alongside it: an approved free resource, one solo email, and one additional promotion during the Sept 28–Oct 12 window.
If you're teaching something you already know cold, the talk itself is usually a focused day of work. We send swipe copy and graphics so the promotion side isn't a blank page.
What kind of results do speakers actually see?
Year one is our only data point, so here's exactly what it looked like: 3,500+ total attendees (3,192 free registrations, plus VIP signups), about 1 in 5 upgrading to a paid All-Access Pass, and $8,600+ paid out across the 37 partners who earned commissions. The refund rate was 0.1% across nearly 4,000 transactions, which tells you how the audience felt about it.
Individual results varied enormously, and we'd rather be straight with you about why: our top few partners cleared four figures, and partners who didn't promote earned nothing. Results tracked with effort. What you get out of it depends on your list, how you promote, and how well your free resource connects to your talk.
What makes a strong free resource?
The best speaker gifts help someone take the next natural step right after your talk. Templates, checklists, guides, workshops, tools, assessments, and mini-resources all work well when they connect directly to what you just taught.
It can be something you already offer — there's no need to build anything new.
Do I need to attend the live events?
Your presentation is prerecorded, so nothing is required live. We host live events all week — panels, tech walkthroughs, fireside chats, and hands-on Build Seshes — plus the opening and closing parties, with Day 1 packing in the most.
We'd love to have you there, especially on your release day. Live opportunities are invitations, not obligations, and we'll share the full schedule after acceptance.
Can I reuse my presentation?
Yes. Your content stays yours, and you can repurpose it for your own audience after the summit's initial promotional window. Final usage details are spelled out in the speaker agreement.
When will I hear back?
Speaker decisions go out by August 17. If you're accepted, you'll confirm and complete your agreement by August 21, and the public lineup is announced August 24.
Your AI EraIs CallingAnswer It!!
Applications are open August 3–14. Speaker decisions will be sent August 17 — and we'd love to see what you want to teach.
