NEW ORLEANS, April 16, 2026 – Dominique Rose Van-Winther, a globally recognized AI consigliere, keynote speaker and transformation leader, will take to the 2026 Women in Agribusiness Summit stage, September 22-24 in New Orleans, to provide the keynote address.
As founder & CEO and chief AI evangelist of Final Upgrade, an AI-powered consultancy launched in 2022, Van-Winther specializes in providing strategic intelligence for executives who can’t afford to be wrong – creating tomorrow’s AI-ready executives and companies.
“This [the proliferation of AI] is a possible career extinction level event…and possibly an industry extinction event,” says Van-Winther in her high energy, influential presentations. “Why? Because if you can suddenly innovate everything in your company, do you actually need a lot of people?”
Van-Winther’s dynamic stage presence and practical business guidance and direction on mastering AI for success in business has trained and inspired thousands around the world – Dubai, Zurich, Singapore, Hong Kong, New York, Amsterdam – where she presents to rooms filled with people ready to rethink how they work and lead and compete with AI.
Van-Winther is in a role to build more competency, strategy and excitement around this newest ubiquitous technological tool because she says “AI transformation doesn’t start with the tools… it starts with PEOPLE. The ones who say:
‘I know AI matters. But I don’t know where to start.’
‘I’ve tried ChatGPT… but what else should I be using?’
‘I want to understand how this applies to our business.’
”Join the hundreds in the room at the 15th annual Women in Agribusiness Summit who will walk away inspired and with key knowledge and understanding on how AI can unlock new value in real time across industries and functions.
