Overview:
This isn’t just a dinner, it’s a gathering at new heights. Panelle and Databricks have partnered to bring you this evening, from a sky-high setting in one of New York’s most striking skyscrapers. We’re bringing together women at the top of their game to explore how data and AI are reshaping business today, and what it takes to lead the way forward.
Over dinner, we’ll spark conversations that matter: how to modernize platforms without rebuilding every few years, how to balance governance with innovation, and how to unlock the real value of generative and agentic AI. We’ll also look beyond the tech to the cultural shifts, mentorship practices, and leadership pathways that will ensure more women rise in this industry.
Join us for an authentic, intimate evening built to create real connection, real perspective, and real possibility. Because when women leaders come together, the sky’s not the limit, it’s just the beginning.

As dinner is served, so is discussion! Your voice matters. Share your stories, swap your strategies, and hear how others are tackling the same challenges, over great food and drink!
8:30 PM - Collective Thoughts and Continued Conversation
We’ll finish the dinner by coming together to share thoughts from each table. After this, you may keep the conversation flowing as long as you like! Savour new connections that will last long after the night ends.
Conversations to look forward to:
- Future-Proofing the Platform: What does a truly modern data foundation look like, and how do we stop rebuilding every few years?
- Readiness Check: Where is your organization on the data & AI journey and how do you balance the pace of technical vs. business maturity?
- Generative & Agentic AI: What’s hype, what’s hope, and what’s actually delivering impact right now?
- Governance Without the Red Tape: How do we create standards that protect data quality while unleashing innovation?
