Research-backed talks on AI, women, and the gap between them.

Casey Wells is the founder of AI Atelier Society and a Las Vegas-based speaker on the AI adoption gap between women and men. Her talks combine a decade of tech experience with the latest research and leave audiences with practical and actionable ways to leverage AI responsibly with clarity, confidence, and commitment.

Four talks - one through-line

  • 01. Signature Talk

    The Gap Is Real. And It's Not What You Think. Harvard studied 140,000 people across 25 countries. They gave 17,000 women equal access to AI and equal training. The gap persisted. This talk unpacks why — and what it actually takes to close it.

    Best for: Women's conferences, leadership panels, DEI programming, professional association events

  • 02. Leadership Talk

    Above or Below the API: The AQ Frame for the AI Era. In a world where AI can do almost anything, the defining skill isn't technical - it's AQ. Agency Quotient: the ability to manifest, direct, and get things done. This talk reframes AI adoption as an agency question, not a technology question.

    Best for: Executive audiences, leadership development programs, corporate keynotes, business associations

  • 03. Practical Talk

    Your First Agency Rep: A Live AI Workshop. An interactive session where every attendee writes, runs, and refines a real AI prompt on a real work task. Beyond a demo, this is guided skill building. Participants leave having actually done something, not just watched it.

    Best for: Workshops, team training days, smaller group events (under 75), lunch-and-learns, professional development programming

  • 04. Community Talk

    Being in the Room: Why Women's AI Participation Shapes AI's Future. AI is being built right now. The people using it are shaping what it becomes. This talk makes the participation case as a collective one. Women's voices in AI change what AI becomes.

    Best for: Community organizations, nonprofit events, women's leadership groups

What to expect when you book

Casey responds to all speaking inquiries within 48 hours. Initial conversations are straightforward - a brief call to understand your event, your audience, and the outcome you're looking for. From there, she'll confirm whether the fit is right and come back with a proposed talk structure within one week.

She brings her own research, her own slides, and a clear sense of what she wants the audience to walk away with. She doesn't do generic AI overviews. She brings a point of view, backs it with evidence, and stays long enough after the talk to take questions from anyone who wants to keep the conversation going.

"The most important thing: I want women in the audience to feel seen, validated, and invited. Not lectured. Not frightened. Invited." -Casey Wells
