Deloitte Canada joins Women in AI as Venue Sponsor for their Summit & Awards North America 2025

A shared commitment to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion within the AI industry underpins Deloitte Canada’s sponsorship of the Women in AI Summit & Awards North America 2025. As a global leader in innovation and technology, Deloitte’s support amplifies Women in AI’s mission to recognize and empower women who are driving advancements in artificial intelligence across North America. By aligning with Women in AI, Deloitte Canada is helping to break barriers, increase visibility, and create opportunities for women in AI to thrive, whether in research, industry leadership, or entrepreneurship.

Through this collaboration, the Women in AI Summit & Awards 2025 will serve as a powerful platform to highlight the extraordinary contributions of women in AI. The event will provide greater credibility, mentorship, and access to influential networks. Deloitte Canada’s sponsorship ensures that this celebration of excellence reaches a broader audience, inspiring the next generation of AI leaders and reinforcing the importance and inclusive innovation in shaping the future of technology.

Committed to supporting and celebrating excellence in women in AI, the Women in AI Summit and Awards 2025 will play a crucial role in building credibility and exposure for women in AI across North America, including Canada, USA, and Mexico. This prestigious event, scheduled for June 2025, will honor exceptional women who are shaping the future of artificial intelligence in the region.

Since its inception, the Women in AI Awards North America has announced 158 recognitions, showcasing the remarkable achievements of women in the field. The awards span 12 diverse categories, each designed to highlight different aspects of excellence in AI.

“Great things always happen when passionate individuals come together to collaborate and co-create. Our community is built in a way to bring together people of similar minds to connect, inspire and celebrate outstanding contributions and make space for each of us in the AI ecosystem. Women in AI Summit and Awards will be a testament to the tremendous effort of passionate individuals working towards a single mission of building a diverse and inclusive future with AI. We are so grateful for the support of Deloitte in opening their space for the Women in the AI community”, Frincy Clement, Head of North America, Women in AI.

170 women in AI and allies were announced as finalists in March 2025 and will be celebrated at the awards ceremony after the Day Summit on June 6th, 2025 at Deloitte, Canada. Award ceremony invitees will include leaders and influencers from industry, academia, government, prominent AI thought-leaders, AI enthusiasts, venture capitalists and AI startups.

“At Deloitte, our purpose is to make an impact that matters. We exist to inspire and help our people, organizations, communities, and country thrive by building a better future. When it comes to AI, we know that diverse teams are key to creating models and solutions that reflect the diversity of our society and inspire trust. We are excited to host Women in AI’s annual awards ceremony at our Deloitte Canada office as a way to recognize the importance of women contributions to the field of AI” Audrey Ancion, Leader of Deloitte Canada’s AI Institute and Partner with Deloitte Omnia AI.

“Women in AI exists to foster communities of support, idea and resource sharing when it comes to career, workplace strategies for women working in the AI sector, but it also exists to be your own cheering squad, to make sure your work is seen, heard and acknowledged, to make sure that innovation and leadership from women is celebrated on a national and global stage, and this is critical because AI cannot become inclusive as long as we remain invisible, and that is the reason for this celebration”, says Susanna Raj, USA Ambassador.

Deloitte Canada’s sponsorship will play a pivotal role in expanding the reach of WAI Summit and Awards, ensuring that more women in AI gain visibility, credibility, and support. The event will not only celebrate achievements but also provide a platform for networking, mentorship, and collaboration.

Join us on June 6th, 2025, for the WAI Summit & Awards North America—where innovation meets inclusion, and excellence is recognized.
