SUMMARY:WITH Panel Evening — 24 September 2026
DESCRIPTION:“Artificial Intelligence: From Anxiety to Clarity and Confidence“ \n\n\n\nProudly sponsored by Pacific International Insurance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, 24 September\n\n\n\n6:00 pm – 8:00 pm\n\n\n\nMeantime on Beaumont.104 Beaumont Street\, Hamilton\n\n\n\n\nAI is creating exciting possibilities\, but it is also leaving many of us quietly anxious about what it could mean for our jobs\, our businesses and the generations coming up behind us. It is natural to feel curious\, hopeful and uneasy all at once.  \n\n\n\nYet much of the conversation is happening a long way from the Hunter. So\, WITH is bringing it home with a panel evening in Newcastle\, creating space for honest questions\, different perspectives and practical answers. \n\n\n\nHear from three Hunter women experiencing AI from very different places. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBelinda Wellings\, CEO of Rapid Solutions\, has seen the birth of the internet\, the steep curve of the digital revolution and now riding high on the wave of AI as a valuable enabler when used well. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmma Spartalis\, Director of Spartalis Consulting\, advises corporates\, rural businesses and women-led businesses on AI strategy\, governance and ethical implementation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBaidy Barton\, Founder of Tailwind Growth building a people-first\, AI-native company from the ground up to help businesses grow on their terms. She is also a proud member of WITH. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhether you run a business\, lead a team or are simply working out what AI means for you\, this conversation will be shaped by the questions you want answered. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nLeave with a clearer view of what is coming\, one practical thing you can take away\, and the confidence to meet it rather than brace for it.Our sponsor \n\n\n\nA word of thanks to Pacific International Insurance\, who are making this event possible and free to members. \n\n\n\nPacific is an Australian insurance underwriter with more than 20 years’ experience building unique insurance offerings. Headquartered right here in Newcastle\, its team underwrites insurance products for a range of sectors including motor\, pet\, mobility equipment\, professional indemnity and general liability for the pest and building inspection professions\, to name a few. \n\n\n\nSponsoring this event means backing women in the Hunter technology community\, creating the space to connect\, learn from each other\, and be recognised for the work they are already leading. Pacific is leaning into AI too and sees the value in bringing conversations like this one home to the Hunter\, rather than leaving them to happen somewhere else. \n\n\n\nWe are also pleased that one of Pacific’s own leaders\, Belinda Wellings\, CEO of Rapid Solutions\, joins the panel\, bringing a first-hand view of what it takes to lead AI as a valuable enabler inside a growing business. \n\n\n\nTickets \n\n\n\nMembers:   FreeNon-members:$25Joining WITH:$75\n\n\n\nNOT A MEMBER? \n\n\n\nJoin the WITH community and be part of something growing right here in the Hunter.
