Speaking to this cross-sector audience, Hughes delivered a future-focused keynote on artificial intelligence and creative leadership, positioning AI as a critical enabler for women building what comes next. Drawing on her work as Senior Creative Technologist at Leonardo.Ai, she explored how generative tools can expand access, compress timeframes, and unlock new creative and commercial possibilities — particularly for women navigating systems historically shaped without them in mind.

Aligned with Women Who Innovate’s mission, the keynote reinforced a shared belief: that innovation is strongest when diverse voices are empowered to lead. Hughes’ contribution sat within a broader program designed to amplify women who are not only responding to change, but actively shaping it — underscoring the importance of visibility, confidence, and creative excellence as women continue to define the future of technology and culture.
