Roam & Reset x IcePass present: Rejuvenation Mansion
Rejuvenation Mansion is a tactical reset for top founders, operators, and investors. Set in a private West LA estate, attendees unplug from chaos and recharge through cold plunges, sauna circuits, complimentary massages, high-performance sessions, breathwork, meditation, and movement. Designed for the people who can’t afford to burn out—but can’t afford to slow down either.
This is the anti-conference: no surface talk. Just recovery, clarity, and real conversations with the ones building the future.
This isn't networking. It's recovery. A step away from noise to detox, decompress, and reboot. Leave the chaos behind—come back sharper, stronger, and ready to hit it harder than ever.

Brand vs. Bot: Redefining Brand Power in the Age of AI - Women In Innovation
**Your RSVP request will be approved once you purchase a ticket from the linked Eventbrite Page**
AI is reshaping how we influence, communicate, and build trust—but who defines brand in this evolving landscape?
This panel features leading women at the intersection of brand, technology, and storytelling. Together, we will explore how to build human-first brands in an increasingly AI-saturated world.

Key takeaways for attendees:
• How to build a personal brand that stands out from AI-generated noise
• Strategies to cut through content saturation with authentic storytelling
• Practical AI tools that support, not replace, creative and strategic thinking
• Ethical considerations and brand trust in the age of automation and deepfakes
Panel Topics:
• What’s real, what’s recycled, and what’s resonating in brand building today
• How to become a “must-follow” instead of blending in with the crowd
• Tools and workflows that enhance creativity without compromising authenticity
• Branding and trust in a world shaped by misinformation and automation
• What to do when you notice your content is being blatantly copied
