The 'Women in NeuroAI' event at the University of Washington, organized by CoNECT and I2, aims to highlight and celebrate the contributions of a minoritized group within the field of NeuroAI. This gathering will feature esteemed keynote speakers, including postdocs and professors, who will share insights from both academia and industry. Attendees will have the chance to engage in networking sessions, fostering connections within the NeuroAI community. The event will not only offer intellectual enrichment but also provide a delightful experience with snacks and lunch for all participants. Additionally, a poster presentation will showcase the diverse research efforts undertaken by researchers from various labs in the NeuroAI domain, further emphasizing the collective brilliance of women in this field. It promises to be an inspiring and inclusive occasion, bringing together minds dedicated to advancing NeuroAI research.
