AI MIDLIFE RISING

FREE LIVE VIRTUAL SUMMIT •
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29 • Starts 10:00 AM ET - 4:00 PM ET

13 women. 13 different paths. One day of real stories, practical ideas, and inspiration for what comes next.


Midlife isn't the closing of a chapter; it's often the moment everything you've learned, built, and dreamed about finally has the tools to become something new.

Come see how women are using AI to create, pivot, simplify, build, advocate, grow, and rise into what's next.

Leave with clear next steps you can take to move forward on your own journey.

No AI experience required.

Maybe You've Been
Asking Yourself...

"What is next for me?"

"Is it too late to start something new?"

"Could I finally build that idea I've been thinking about?"

"How are other women actually using AI in real life?"

"Could AI make my life or work a little easier?"

"Could I create the thing I haven't had the time, skills, or confidence to create — until now?"

"What could the next 10, 20, or 30 years look like if they are aligned with my purpose?"

"I could keep juggling it all, but do I really want to?"

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re exactly who this summit was created for.

What You'll Experience

Throughout the day, you'll hear short, focused sessions from thirteen women who are using AI in very different ways to create, pivot, simplify, build, advocate, grow and move into what's next. You'll hear real stories, practical ideas and examples you can adapt to your own life, career, business or next chapter.

Creativity & Self-Expression

Career Pivots & New Beginnings

Confidence & Mindset

Aligning Business Growth with Purpose

Health, Resilience, Advocacy & Renewal

Using AI in Real, Practical Ways

What You'll Walk Away With

This isn't about instant transformation. It's about leaving with something real: more clarity, a few new ideas, practical starting points, and a stronger sense of what might be possible next, without feeling like you have to figure it all out alone or at once.

Greater clarity about what's next for you

New ideas you can actually act on

More confidence exploring AI on your own terms

A sense that you're not figuring this out alone

Simple starting points without the technical overwhelm

Real stories and examples that help you see what's possible

Meet the Women of AI Midlife Rising

Thirteen women, thirteen different paths — creatives, career changers, entrepreneurs, and leaders — each sharing how they're using AI in their own lives. Here's a first look at who you'll be hearing from.
Session titles coming soon, but here's a glimpse of the conversations you can expect:

When the career you loved suddenly ends. You receive a termination letter on Valentine’s Day, alongside thousands of others. What do you do when the future you expected disappears overnight?

When you realize you can keep juggling everything—but you don’t want to anymore. What happens when you finally make space for your own passions, creativity, and next chapter?

When AI gives you something more valuable than productivity: time. How can technology help you build a business while creating more room for family, volunteering, purpose, and the life you actually want to live?

When a serious medical diagnosis changes your definition of success. After making it through, how do you intentionally build a life around joy, health, inspiration, and the things that truly feed your soul?

When the edge that defined you suddenly feels different. You’ve been a competitive athlete and a successful corporate executive—and then perimenopause changes your energy, focus, and performance. What happens when workplace expectations don’t change with you, and how do we advocate for women navigating the same experience?

And that’s only the beginning.

AI Midlife Rising is about more than learning AI. It’s about discovering how women are using it to create, simplify, reinvent, build, heal, focus, and rise into what’s next.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Why This Summit Exists

Most conversations about AI focus on tools, technology, and moving fast now. This summit focuses on people — specifically, women who are discovering new possibilities because of AI. This isn't about becoming an AI expert. It's about listening to real women share what they're doing, thinking, and building, and recognizing a little bit of yourself in their stories.

This summit exists to show how resilience, hope, purpose, creativity, and years of accumulated knowledge and experience can be aligned with and amplified by using AI to serve your life's next chapter. It's a space designed for curiosity and reflection, not intimidation. We want you to walk away not just informed, but inspired and thinking....

“Maybe I could do that too.”

Who This Is For

Women who are curious about AI but haven't used it extensively

Women at a point in their life who are wondering, "What's next?"

Career changers, creatives, and entrepreneurs ready to let their creativity shine

Caregivers and busy professionals looking to simplify their day-to-day

Women returning to work after a career break

Women whose circumstances required them to adapt or pivot and are looking for inspiration

Women who have thought, "I don't even know where to start with AI."

Women who are ready to lead what comes next, on their own terms

A NOTE FROM TERI

Why I created AI Midlife Rising

I created this summit because I know what it feels like to wonder, “What’s next?”

I’ve spent the past couple of years learning, building, taking risks, and moving forward even when I wasn’t completely sure where the path would lead.

And something beautiful happened along the way: these incredible women came into my life.

They aren’t just speakers. To me, they are friends, coaches, inspirations, and proof of what can happen when you keep showing up, trying something new, and taking the next step before you have everything figured out.

Each of them has generously volunteered her time, experience, and wisdom to remind other women that the next chapter can be meaningful, exciting, purposeful — and beautiful.

That’s why I created this room. I’m so glad you’re here.
