Hi Reader,

We're bringing our podcast equipment to CREATE 2026 — and Erika Stanley, for one, is recording for her AI Queens podcast. 🎙️

Erika is a CREATE 2026 speaker, and she's recording on site — with speakers and with attendees.
​
Here's my episode with Erika — I can confirm — talking with her is so much fun! → https://aiqueens.substack.com/p/stop-waiting-to-be-an-ai-expert-why​
​
We know we have other podcasters in our network who are coming to CREATE. Are you one of them? Would you like to record? Reply and let us know!
​
And if you're coming to CREATE and would like to be ON a podcast, reply here and we'll do some matchmaking.
​
Join Erika and me and a FABULOUS group of presenters and attendees in Salt Lake City this October for the CREATE Conference Experience, 2026.

​Register for CREATE 2026​
October 16–18, 2026 · Salt Lake City, Utah​
​
Warmly,
Anne

P.S. Here are 5 ways to make the CREATE Conference work for you!

• Use your Society rate. Members pay $649 instead of $899 — and Register & Join Society bundles CREATE with your first year of membership for $1,199, saving you $487.
• Register early and reserve your room. The CREATE block at the Hilton is $55 off the standard rate, and your booking link arrives with your confirmation.
• Ask your organization to sponsor you. A ready-to-personalize justification letter is waiting on the registration page.
• Treat it as a business investment. The planning template maps what the trip should produce — meetings, content, partnerships, a launch.
• Bring your team. Email hello@sheleadsai.ai before registering and we’ll get your group set up together.

All five, with the letter and the template, live here → https://sheleadsai.ai/create-registration/​

Your freebie this week:

Here's a related Skill for you to use next time you're pitching yourself or your brand for an opportunity — Pitch Coach. It coaches both the speaker and the content, builds your message from one grounded sentence about what you do, and hands back the thirty-second, two-minute, and five-minute versions plus question prep. → https://sheleadsai.ai/pitch-coach/​
