  About This Event
  

  The AI in Motion series has taken us on quite a journey, from exploring AI innovation and organizational readiness to upskilling and hands-on experimentation. Now, we're closing out the series with one of the most important conversations of all: how do we build and use AI in a way that's private, ethical, and worthy of trust?

  This final session opens with a fireside chat featuring a local cybersecurity and privacy attorney, grounding our AI conversation in real-world legal and regulatory context. What do organizations actually need to consider as AI adoption accelerates? What are the risks, and what does responsible governance look like in practice? We'll dig into all of it.

  From there, we'll hear lightning talks from leaders across healthcare, manufacturing, and entertainment — each sharing how their industry's unique regulatory environment, risk profile, and business realities shape the way they approach AI, data privacy, and ethics. Same challenge, very different playbooks.

  Come ready for honest, practical conversation — and leave with a clearer picture of what it means to build AI solutions that are not just innovative, but secure, compliant, and trustworthy.

  WiT Virtual Series: Fuel Your Friday

  Event Details: What Hermione Got Wrong: How leaning into not knowing becomes your superpower 

  Event Date: Friday, July 17, 2026
  Event Time:  Noon - 1:00 PM
  Location: It’s virtual! After you register, you'll receive the Teams Link.

  About this virtual event:
  

  This session explores the professional and personal power that can come from embracing uncertainty. Chelsea Doman, Sr Manager of IT Program Management at Sargento Foods, will share her journey as a real-life Hermione Granger, unknowingly building her identity and career around always having the solutions.

  Through her personal stories of self-discovery, leading through burnout, and trying to excel in a 'technical, male-dominated world as a non-technically trained girl', Chelsea will talk about how she learned that being an outsider was actually her superpower for building bridges.

  This session will speak to protecting your emotional currency, savoring the unfolding, and turning the unknown into a powerful opportunity. Participants will walk away with a fresh perspective on how Leaning into Not Knowing can make them stronger collaborators, lead more effectively, and show up more authentically.

  About the Expert:
  

  Chelsea Doman  

  For nearly 30 years, Chelsea has held leadership roles in Data and IT operations across various industries including automotive, oil & gas, and education. Fueled by a steady supply of cheese and her love of creating systems that help people thrive, she is the Senior Manager of IT Program Management at Sargento Foods.

  Chelsea is passionately committed to building community and has served on multiple Boards of Directors, most recently for the Graduate Business Student Association at the University of Illinois, where she earned her Master of Business Administration in 2024. As an undergrad, she originally had dreams of Broadway but instead graduated with a BA in Linguistics and Teaching ESL from Brigham Young University.

  Despite being a night owl, Chelsea didn’t make it to any of the midnight launches of the Harry Potter books, but she did insist her four children read all seven before they watched any of the movies. She thinks the audiobooks are the best way to enjoy the series and solemnly swears that her youngest son—George Frederick—is absolutely not named for the Weasley twins.
